Richard Epp (physicist)
Richard J. Epp is a physicist and lecturer currently working at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada.
Richard Epp received his master's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Manitoba and also completed his PhD in theoretical physics at the same institution on quantum field theory.{{Cite web | url=http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=72&pi=Richard_Epp | title=Perimeter Institute |}} After finishing graduate school, he held post-doctoral research positions at international institutions including the Raman Research Institute in Bangalore, India and the University of California in Davis, California. Additionally, he is the Senior Manager of Educational Outreach at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics and is particularly known for being the founder and main lecturer during the International Summer School for Young Physicists program (ISSYP){{Cite web | url=http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/en/Outreach/Students/The_International_Summer_School_for_Young_Physicists/ |title = International Summer School for Young Physicists | Perimeter Institute}} held at the University of Waterloo and the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics every year.
