Paul Wiegmann
Paul B. Wiegmann is a Russian physicist. He is the Robert W. Reneker Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Chicago, James Franck Institute and Enrico Fermi Institute. He specializes in theoretical condensed matter physics. He made pioneering contributions to the field of quantum integrable systems. He found exact solutions of O Non-linear Sigma Model,, Wess–Zumino–Witten model, Anderson impurity model and multi-channel Kondo model.
Notable Achievements and Scientific Recognition
In 2003, Paul Wiegmann was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the official citation indicating that the recognition was "For exact solutions of models of interacting electronic systems and quantum field theory, including the multi-channel Kondo problem and the Anderson model for magnetic impurities."Awards and Distinguished Appointments
