Patrick joined AIP in February 1986. We are grateful for your dedication and honored to be your colleagues. We are thrilled that he will continue working with us.

I cannot tell you what an honor it is to work with Patrick Mulvey in my time at AIP. He is gracious, kind, and patient. He happily shares his incredible knowledge of physics & astronomy in higher education in the US, as well as what graduates do after earning their degrees. I cannot find adequate words to convey the scope and depth of Patrick’s talents and what he means to me and to AIP. Thank you, Patrick!
