A. Alan Middleton

Arthur Alan Middleton is a professor of physics and the associate dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Syracuse University.

[1][2] He is known for his work in the fields of disordered materials such as random magnets, spin glasses, and interfaces in a random environment, transport in disordered materials, interface motion, and colloidal assemblies, condensed matter physics, statistical physics, and computational physics, connections between algorithm dynamics, computer science analyses, algorithms for efficient simulation of complex dynamics, including heuristic coarse graining for glassy materials.

[3] Middleton earned his bachelor's in mathematics and physics with distinction at Harvey Mudd College in 1984.

He received Churchill Scholarship and moved to Cambridge University where he earned a certificate of advanced study.

[6] Middleton was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 2010 for "his innovative numerical studies of the dynamical and static properties of disordered condensed matter systems, including charge density waves, spin glasses and disordered elastic media".
