Boris Altshuler
Boris Altshuler , Russian Борис Леонидович Альтшулер , (* 27. January 1955 in Leningrad ) is a Russian-American physicist who deals with solid state physics busy (Condensed Matter Physics).
Life
Altshuler studied at the Leningrad State University , where he graduated in 1976. In 1979 he received his doctorate at the Leningrad Institute of Nuclear Physics and then stayed there as a scientist. In 1989 he went as a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and in 1996 as a professor at Princeton University . In 1994 he started working for the NEC research laboratories (as a NEC Research Fellow). Since 2007 he has been a professor at Columbia University .
In 1993 he received the Hewlett Packard Europhysics Prize (now the Agilent Physics Prize). He has been a Fellow of the American Physical Society since 1992, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences since 1996, and of the National Academy of Sciences since 2002 . He is an external member of the Norwegian Academy of Sciences . In 2003 he received the Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Prize for his fundamental contributions to the understanding of the quantum mechanics of electrons in random potentials and constrained geometries, including fundamental work on the relationship between disorder and interaction forms . For 2014 he was awarded the Andrei Sakharov Prize of the American Physical Society, for 2017 the Dirac Medal of the University of New South Wales .
