Congratulations to Brian Murphy
Professor Brian Murphy (Ph.D. 1988), Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Butler University, is retiring after 31 years on the faculty. As a student Brian worked with Haldan Cohn and Richard Durisen on the evolution of active galactic nuclei and globular clusters using multi-component models. After postdoctoral positions at Utrecht and Cornell he accepted a faculty position at Butler, where he continued work on the dynamical evolution of dense stellar systems.
