Allen Hirshfeld

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Allen C. Hirshfeld (born February 16, 1944 in Cleveland ; † August 20, 2016 in Aachen ) was an Israeli- German physicist and university professor .

Life

Hirshfeld moved to Israel with his family at the age of twelve . In 1961 he began his studies of physics at the University of Tel Aviv , which him with his dissertation Theory and Phenomenology of Multiparticle Production at Errol Gotsmann and Yuval Ne'eman 1970 doctorate . Since 1968 he has worked scientifically at the University of Strasbourg , at CERN , at the University of Heidelberg and at DESY .

In 1973 Hirshfeld finally moved to the University of Dortmund and stayed there until his retirement in 2009. After his habilitation in 1974, he taught there as a private lecturer . Starting from the phenomenological theory, he turned to the mathematical aspects of physics, as his seminars on topology and differential geometry showed. In 1990 he and others organized the Meeting on Geometry and Theoretical Physics at the Physics Center Bad Honnef . In 1999, he and others held the international conference Ontological Aspects of Quantum Field Theory in Bielefeld . In 2011 he published a monograph on the supersymmetric Dirac equation .
