Jeff Greensite received his Ph.D. in 1980 from the University of California at Santa Cruz, and held post-doctoral positions at UC Berkeley, the Universite Libre de Bruxelles, and the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, before joining the faculty at San Francisco State University in 1984. His research specialty is in theoretical high energy physics. Dr. Greensite has published over two hundred research papers, mostly in the general area of quantum chromodynamics and lattice gauge theory, along with one textbook (An Introduction to Quantum Theory, IOP Publishing).
