_____________________________________________________________

Keith Nelson received his Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry from Stanford University in 1981, and after a postdoctoral stint at UCLA he joined the faculty at MIT in 1982. He has worked on discovery of new light-matter interactions and their exploitation for spectroscopy and control of coherent acoustic waves, lattice and molecular vibrations, excitons, spins, and their admixtures with light. He has developed novel methods for study of solid-state chemical reactions, crystals near phase transitions, glass-forming liquids, electronic excited-state dynamics, thermal transport, and matter far from equilibrium. He has pioneered tabletop generation of strong terahertz-frequency fields and nonlinear terahertz spectroscopy. He has been recognized as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Optical Society of America, and the American Physical Society and a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and he has received the Coblentz, Lippincott, Zewail, Bomem-Michelson, and Isakson Awards from the Coblentz Society, the Optical Society of America, the American Chemical Society, and the American Physical Society.
