Peggy Cebe (born in 1949) is a professor of physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy of Tufts University.[1]
Early life
Cebe was born in
Edinboro University of Pennsylvania) in 1970. She earned a MS in mathematics in 1976 from the same school. Cebe obtained a second MS in physics from Cornell University in 1981, followed by a PhD in physics in 1984, also from Cornell University.[3]
Career
After her PhD, Cebe moved to the Caltech/NASA
semi-crystalline polymers. In 1995, Cebe began her faculty position at Tufts University, in the department of physics and astronomy.[1]
Cebe's research focuses on characterizing the structure and properties of semi-crystalline polymers, nanocomposites, and biopolymers using methods including high-precision, high-accuracy heat capacity measurements, dielectric relaxation, and X-ray scattering. Cebe is also known for her work with deaf and hard-of-hearing students.[4]
