Notes

John J. Rehr is an American theoretical physicist, professor emeritus of physics at the University of Washington in Seattle.[3] He has worked in the field of theoreticalX-ray[4][5] and electron-spectroscopies.

Biography

Rehr received a B.S.E. in 1967 from the

David Mermin as his advisory. He then held a NATO postdoctoral fellowship at King's College London and at University of California, San Diego, with Walter Kohn
.

In 1975, he was appointed assistant professor in the Department of Physics at the

L'École Polytechnique (Paris). He has been a consulting professor at the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, Co-ordinator of the DOE Computational Materials Science Network, and leader of the Theoretical X-ray Beamline of the European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility.[6]

Work

His works have received over 22,000 citations.[7] His research specialties are in condensed matter theory, particularly in the field of excited state

electronic structure and the theory of X-ray
and electron spectra.[8][9] One of Rehr's major accomplishment was the theoretical solution of the EXAFS problem,
FEFF8 and the principal investigator of the FEFF project. Rehr group's FEFF[12][13] codes are in use worldwide and currently has over thousands of subscription. [citation needed
]

Rehr has also led his team in developing next generation scientific computation on cloud computing platforms; their FEFF programs are available in the Amazon Web Services cloud for the physics community.[14] FEFF leverages Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud Computer instances to enable physicists all over the world to access on-demand High Performance Computing resources.

His research is supported by the US Department of Energy BES, the DOE Computational Materials and Chemical Sciences Network (CMCSN)[15]

Honors and awards

Rehr received the

Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2001.[18]
