Michael Aizenman (born 28 August 1945) is an American-Israeli mathematician and a physicist at Princeton University, working in the fields of mathematical physics, statistical mechanics, functional analysis and probability theory.
The highlights of his work include: the
Schrödinger operators; and insights concerning conformal invariance in two-dimensional percolation.[1]
Biography
Aizenman is a
Courant Institute and in 1990 returned to Princeton as professor of mathematics and physics. He was several times a visiting scholar at the Institute for Advanced Study, in 1984-85, 1991–92, and 1997–98,[3] and is a regular visiting scholar at the Weizmann Institute of Science
.
Honors and awards
- Norbert Wiener Prize (1990) of the perturbative mathematical methods in statistical mechanics by means of which he was able to solve several long open important problems concerning critical phenomena, phase transitions, and quantum field theory."
- Brouwer Medal (2002)[4] of the Dutch Math. Soc. and the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences
- Dannie Heineman Prize in Mathematical Physics(2010), of APS and AIP
- Henri Poincaré Prize (2018) of IAMP.
Aizenman received
Technion
(2018), and is a member of
National Academy of Sciences (1997), American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2017), and Academia Europaea
