Stephen L. Adler

Stephen Louis Adler (born November 30, 1939) is an American

Adler became a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in 1966, becoming a full professor of theoretical physics in 1969, and was named "New Jersey Albert Einstein Professor" at the institute in 1979. He was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1974, and a member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1975.^[3][4][5]

He has won the J. J. Sakurai Prize from the American Physical Society in 1988, and the Dirac Medal of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in 1998, among other awards.

Adler's seminal papers on high energy neutrino processes, current algebra, soft pion theorems,

In 2012, Adler contributed to a family venture when he wrote the foreword for his then 99-year-old father's 87th book, Solving the Riddle of Phyllotaxis: Why the Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Ratio Occur on Plants. The book's diagrams are by his sister Peggy.^[6]

Trace dynamics

In his book Quantum Theory as an Emergent Phenomenon, published 2004, Adler presented his trace dynamics, a framework in which
