Rob Phillips is the Fred Nancy Morris Professor of Biophysics, Biology, and Physics at the California Institute of Technology. He received his B.S. from the University of Minnesota in 1986 and his Ph.D. from Washington University in 1989. After a brief period as the Clark Millikan Visiting Assistant Professor at Caltech in 1997, he became a full professor in 2000. He has been actively engaged in pioneering research that integrates physical principles with biological systems, focusing specifically on topics such as physical biology, biophysical theory, and experimental approaches that investigate cellular mechanisms at the single-molecule and single-cell levels. His work has significantly advanced the understanding of complex biological processes through the application of rigorous physical methodologies and experimental techniques.
Most Caltech graduate programs are PhD-only. GRE General and Subject tests vary by department; many have made them optional or no longer accept them.
