Peter Brent Littlewood, FRS [2] (born 18 May 1955)[1] is a British physicist and Professor of Physics at the University of Chicago . He was the 12th Director of Argonne National Laboratory . He previously headed the Cavendish Laboratory as well as the Theory of Condensed Matter group and the Theoretical Physics Research department at Bell Laboratories .[3] [4] [5] Littlewood serves as the founding chair of the board of trustees of the Faraday Institution .
He gained a first-class degree in Natural Sciences at the University of Cambridge in 1976, and was then awarded a Kennedy Scholarship to work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for two years.[6] He returned to Cambridge in 1977 to complete his PhD .[6]
Beginning in 1980, he worked at Bell Labs , finishing his time there as head of the theoretical physics research after assuming the position in 1992.[6] [7] He continued to be a member of technical staff until 2001.[6]
In 1997, he became a professor at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, and was head of the Theory of Condensed Matter group , and served as Matthias Scholar at Los Alamos National Laboratory during a 2003-04 sabbatical.[7] In 2005, he returned to Cambridge to become head of the Cavendish Laboratory , before being named in 2011 the Associate Laboratory Director for Physical Sciences and Engineering at the Argonne National Laboratory .[7] On March 25, 2014, Littlewood was named to the director's post. In January 2017, he retired as director to resume his research at the University of Chicago.[8] Since 2022, he also holds a partial appointment at the School of Physics and Astronomy, University of St Andrews of the University of St Andrews in Scotland, UK.
Littlewood holds six patents , has published more than 200 articles in scientific journals and has given more than 200 invited talks at international conferences, universities and laboratories.[7]

Littlewood's research has variously included studying the phenomenology and microscopic theory of high-temperature superconductors , transition metal oxides and other correlated electronic systems, and the optical properties of highly excited semiconductors. He has applied his methods to engineering, including holographic storage , optical fibers and devices, and new materials for particle detectors.[6] [7]
