Speaker bio: Brandon R. Brown pursued doctoral training in superconductivity and low-temperature physics at Oregon State University Physics on the Vortex Dynamics in High-temperature Superconductors.

After his postdoctoral work was in science communication. Once at the University of San Francisco, he shifted his research focus to sensory biophysics. He and his collaborators and students explored the electric and magnetic sensory abilities of a variety of creatures. Brandon served as associate dean for sciences, during which time the university completed planning stages for the Lo Schiavo Center for Science and Innovation, for which he helped fundraising efforts. He currently writes about science for broader audiences, including various columns, essays, and two books: Planck (2015, Oxford University Press), and The Apollo Chronicles (2019, Oxford University Press).
