His doctoral work, Covariant Approach to Massless Field Theory in the Radiation Gauge on theoretical particle physics, was supervised by Sidney Coleman. Griffiths is a graduate of The Putney School and was trained at Harvard University ( B.A., 1964 M.A., 1966 Ph.D., 1970).
Both his parents were faculty members at the University of Washington, his father in the History Department and his mother in the Zoology Department. Griffiths was born in Arlington, Virginia, the son of Winifred Mary (née Jeffrey) and Gordon Griffiths. He wrote three highly regarded textbooks for undergraduate physics students. He worked at Reed College from 1978 through 2009, becoming the Howard Vollum Professor of Science before his retirement. Covariant Approach to Massless Field Theory in the Radiation Gauge (1970)ĭavid Jeffrey Griffiths (born December 5, 1942) is an American physicist and educator.
