Allan Adams is a physicist working at the intersection of fluid dynamics, QFT and string theory. He is also the PI of the Future Ocean Lab at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Adams completed his physics degree from Harvard, Berkeley, and Stanford. [1] He Joined as a faculty member of the physics department of MIT in 2008.[2] [1] He loves photography and soaring. [3] In January, 2017, Adams opened the Future Ocean Lab. [1]

Allan Adams gave an introductory lecture on quantum mechanics through MIT OpenCourseWare. [1] He gave two ted talks: one on the LIGO  discovery of Gravitational Waves in 2016 and another in 2014. [4][1]
