Professor of Applied Physics, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Associated Faculty, Department of Astrophysical Sciences, Program in Plasma Physics, Princeton University

Professor Edgar Choueiri is Director of Princeton University’s Program in Engineering Physics, and Director of Princeton’s Electric Propulsion and Plasma Dynamics Laboratory (EPPDyL). He is tenured Full Professor in the Applied Physics Group at the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department, and associated faculty at the Astrophysical Sciences Department/Program in Plasma Physics at Princeton University. He holds a PhD in Aerospace Engineering/Plasma Science (1991) from Princeton University. In 2009 Professor Choueiri invented a new technique for producing tonally pure 3D sound from two loudspeakers, allowing a listener to hear sounds located in 3D space as they would be heard in real life. The new technology, called BACCH 3D Sound, is currently being licensed by Princeton University.

Art and Science: The Two Cultures Converging

This series of roundtables brings together artists, scientists, and scholars to explore the intersections of science, art, education, and society through themes of collaboration, interdisciplinary practice, and STEAM education. Across the discussions, participants examine how these fields inform one another, how such collaborations are formed and sustained, and how they may shape future approaches to knowledge, creativity, and learning.
