Ali Hani Chamseddine (born February 20, 1953 in Joun , Lebanon ) is a Lebanese mathematical physicist . He is a professor at the American University of Beirut (AUB).

Life

Chamseddine studied at Lebanese University with a bachelor's degree in 1973, received his diploma from Imperial College London in 1974 with TWB Kibble and received his doctorate in 1976 with Abdus Salam . Since 1978 he has been an assistant professor and since 1998 he has been a professor at the American University Beirut. From 1981 to 1985 he was at Northeastern University in Boston, 1986/87 he was visiting professor at ETH Zurich , he was visiting professor at LMU Munich and he was several times in the theory department of CERN (first in 1980). He is founding director of the Center for Advanced Mathematical Sciences (CAMS) in Beirut.

In 1982, together with Richard Arnowitt and Pran Nath, he developed a minimal supergravity model (mSUGRA) as a realistic model for supergravity with N = 1 supersymmetry broken by a super Higgs mechanism (via a hidden sector of the theory that only interacts with the rest via gravity) Particle physics. He works with Alain Connes from IHES on particle physics models within the framework of the non-commutative geometry developed by Connes.

Since 2009 he has been Louis Michel visiting professor at IHES . In 2008 he received the Physics Prize of the Third World Academy of Sciences (TWAS), an Arab Fund Fellowship in 2006, the G. Bude Medal of the College de France in 2007 and the Humboldt Research Prize in 2001 .
