Claudio Rebbi

Claudio Rebbi (born March 1, 1943 in Trieste ) is an Italian - American theoretical physicist .

Rebbi graduated from the University of Turin in 1965 (Laurea) and received his doctorate there in 1967. As a post-doc he was at Caltech and then from 1970 to 1972 professor at the University of Trieste . From 1972 to 1974 he was at CERN and then Visiting Associate Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . From 1977 he was at Brookhaven National Laboratory . He is now a professor at Boston University .

Rebbi studied string theory in the early 1970s and was also a pioneer of lattice scale theories . In addition, he dealt with topological suggestions such as solitons and instantons, especially in Yang-Mills theories .
