Philip Phillips received his bachelor's degree in chemistry and mathematics from Walla Walla College in 1979 and his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from the University of Washington in 1982. After a Miller Fellowship at Berkeley, he joined the faculty in the Department of Chemistry at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1984-1993). Phillips came to the University of Illinois depart of Physics in 1993 where is now a Full Professor of Physics. Philip Phillips is a theoretical condensed matter physicist who has an international reputation for his work on transport in disordered and strongly correlated low-dimensional systems. His research lies predominantly in quantum, phase transitions with a special emphasis on insulator-superconductor transitions, Mottness, and competing order in strongly correlated electron systems.He is the recipient of the Edward A. Bouchet Award of the American Physical Society (2000), Beckman Associate at Center for Advanced Study (1999), Senior Xerox Faculty Research Award (1998), Miller Postdoctoral Fellowship at University of California, Berkeley (1981-4).
