Brian Maple
M. Brian Maple (born November 20, 1939 in Chula Vista ) is an American solid-state physicist.
Maple graduated from San Diego State University with a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 1963 and received a PhD in physics from the University of California, San Diego in 1969 . After that he was a professor there.
He deals with strongly correlated electron systems in d- and f-electron systems (with phenomena such as superconductivity, magnetism, heavy fermions, non-Fermi liquids), with high pressure physics and surface physics.
In 1987 he was chairman of the APS conference on high temperature superconductivity, which went down in history as Woodstock of Physics due to the hectic research activities triggered by the discovery of high temperature superconductivity ( Karl Alexander Müller , Georg Bednorz ).
In 2000 he received the James C. McGroddy Prize for New Materials for the synthesis of new d- and f-electron materials and the study of their physics . He received a Humboldt Research Award , was a Guggenheim Fellow and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science and a member of the National Academy of Sciences .
