Charles Radin
Charles Lewis Radin (born January 15, 1945 in New York City ) is an American mathematician and physicist.
Radin studied physics at the City College of New York with a bachelor's degree in 1965 and received his doctorate in physics from the University of Rochester under Gérard Emch in 1970. As a post-doctoral student he was with E. Verboven at the University of Nijmegen in 1970/71 , with Arthur Wightman at Princeton University from 1971 to 1973 and with Mark Kac at Rockefeller University in 1973/74 . 1974 to 1976 he was an instructor in Richard Kadison's group at the University of Pennsylvania and from 1976 Assistant Professor, from 1980 Associate Professor and from 1990 Professor of Mathematics at the University of Texas at Austin .
He deals with packing of spheres and polyhedron packing in Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces, quasicrystals and tiling . He is also interested in phase transitions, for example, in soft materials such as sand (granular matter) and polymer chains, in quasicrystals and random networks
Radin is a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS).
He has been married since 1969 and has one child.
