André-Marie Tremblay

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

André-Marie Tremblay (born January 2, 1953 in Montreal ) is a Canadian physicist who deals with theoretical solid-state physics.

Tremblay graduated from the University of Montreal with a bachelor's degree in 1974 and received his PhD in 1978 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with Bruce Patton (Applications of Quantum Field Theoretical Methods to Some Problems in the Nonequilibrium Statistical Mechanics of Conductors). In addition to Patton, Paul C. Martin was his teacher at MIT (who also supervised his dissertation). He was a post-doctoral student at Cornell University with Vinay Ambegaokar . From 1980 he was NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Council of Canada) University Research Fellow at the Université de Sherbrooke , where he received a full professorship in 1988. Also from the 1980s he was part of the Canadian research program on superconductivity, which arose after the discovery of high-temperature superconductors. From 1991 to 1999 he was director of the research center for solid state physics (Center de recherche en physique du solide) at the university. From 2001 to 2015 he held a Canada Research Chair in solid state physics. From 2015 to 2020 he has a research professorship in quantum materials.

In 1989, 1996, 2000, 2002 and 2009 he was visiting scholar at the University of California, Santa Barbara , 1986/87 at Cornell University, 2000 at the Isaac Newton Institute , 1982 at the University of Provence and 2003/04 at Yale University. At times he was a member of the Perimeter Institute and Associate Professor at Laval University.

Tremblay is concerned with highly correlated electron systems such as high-temperature superconductivity (he developed a non-perturbation-theoretical analytical approach, called Two-Particle Self-Consistent, TPSC, and a numerical approach with quantum clusters) and organic superconductors and quantum materials in general, with non-equilibrium phenomena in superconductors (such as fluctuations ), Multifractals, 1 / f noise and with quantum Monte Carlo simulations.

In 1986 he received the Herzberg Medal, in 2001 the CAP-CRM Prize and in 2003 the Prix Acfas Urgel-Archambault. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada (2004). He was a Killam Fellow and a Steacie Fellow. In 2014 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society and received the CAP Medal for Lifetime Achievement in Physics.
