Christopher Sorensen (born October 1, 1947) is the Cortelyou-Rust University Distinguished Professor and a University Distinguished Teaching Scholar in the Kansas State University Physics Department. He also is an adjunct professor in the department of chemistry at Kansas State University.[1] He was named the Carnegie Foundation and Council for Advancement and Support of Education United States Professor of the Year for doctoral and research universities in 2007.[2] His research interests include particulate systems, soft matter physics, light scattering, and materials synthesis.
Biography
Sorensen was born in Omaha, Nebraska. He earned a Bachelor of Science in physics from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 1969, and earned his Ph.D. in physics in 1977 from the University of Colorado.[3] He joined the physics department at Kansas State University in 1977 as an assistant professor of physics; he was promoted to associate professor in 1982 and professor in 1986. He was named a university distinguished professor in 2000 and the Cortelyou-Rust University Distinguished Professor in 2009.[4]
Research
Sorensen's research focuses on the synthesis, solution properties and self-assembly[5] of nanoparticles; gelation[6] and aggregation kinetics in aerosols and colloids; and theoretical and experimental studies of light scattering by particles of arbitrary size and shape.[7] Sorensen is the author of more than 270 papers, holds six patents and has directed the research of 19 master's recipients, 16 doctorate recipients, and 10 postdoctoral students.[8] He is a fellow of the American Association for Aerosol Research[9] and of the American Physical Society.[10]
