Malcolm Roy Beasley (born January 4, 1940, in San Francisco)[1] is an American physicist. He is professor emeritus of applied physics at Stanford University. He is known for his research related to superconductivity.[2]

Early life and education

[edit]

Beasley was born at Stanford hospital, moving to Hawaii during World War II with his parents, who were social scientists.[3] He was a high school and college basketball player, earning All-Metropolitan honors at Montgomery Blair High SchoolinSilver Spring, Maryland,[4] and playing for the Cornell Big Red in 1958-59.[5]

AtCornell University, Beasley earned his bachelor's degree in engineering physics in 1962 and his Ph.D. in 1967.[6] His Ph.D. thesis Flux creep in hard superconductors[7] was supervised by Watt W. Webb.[8]

Academic career

[edit]

Beasley joined the faculty of Harvard University in 1968 where he remained until accepting a position at Stanford in 1974.[9] He was recruited to Stanford by Theodore Geballe, and after Aharon Kapitulnik joined the applied physics department, the three Stanford superconductivity researchers became known as the "KGB Group."[3]

In 1991, Beasley was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[1] He was elected a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1993.[2]

In 1998, Beasley was named dean of the School of Humanities and Sciences at Stanford.[3]

In 2002, Beasley served as chairman of the Jan Hendrik Schön commission, which determined that Schön fabricated much of his published research.[10]

In 2011, Beasley was elected to the Presidential line of the American Physical Society, becoming APS President in 2014.[11]
