Aaron Mowitz is a Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Wellesley College, teaching undergraduate courses including PHYS 106 (Fundamentals of Electricity, Magnetism, and Optics with Laboratory) and PHYS 102 (Physics for Future Presidents). His interdisciplinary pedagogy emphasizes real-world applications, conceptual discussions, and collaborative problem-solving to build student confidence in scientific reasoning.
His educational background includes:
- B.S. from Brandeis University
- M.S. from the University of Chicago
- Ph.D. from the University of Chicago
Mowitz's research centers on soft condensed matter physics, investigating how geometry influences material responses to stress. His doctoral work developed computational models for chiral colloidal motion in electrophoresis and analytical frameworks for stress networks in crumpled paper. He seeks to extend this through student-mentored projects on classical physics phenomena and explores acoustics—particularly the physics of musical instruments—as a bridge between his passion for music and scientific inquiry.
An amateur classical violinist and violist, he actively participates in chamber music ensembles while pursuing interests in board games, video games, and outdoor frisbee activities.
