Lawrence John Hall is atheoretical particle physicist and professor at theUniversity of California, Berkeley and theBerkeley Center for Theoretical Physics.

Hall received his bachelor's degree fromOxford in 1977 and his Ph.D. fromHarvard in 1981 withHoward Georgi.^[1] He was a Miller Fellow at Berkeley and an assistant professor at Harvard where he was aSloan Foundation Fellow,^[2][3] before becoming professor at Berkeley in 1983,^[4] where he won a Presidential Young Investigator Award.^[5]

Hall is notable for his theoretical contributions to a wide span of research topics such asphysics beyond the Standard Model, includingsupersymmetry anddark matter, in addition to his work on theweak force,cosmology, andgrand unified theories. He was named a Fellow of theAmerican Physical Society in 1993 "for numerous original contributions to the phenomenology of weak interaction, supersymmetry and supergravity, and the physics of the early universe."^[6]

His doctoral students includeNima Arkani-Hamed, Neal Weiner, and Hsin-Chia Cheng.^[7]
