Dieter Lüst

Dieter Lüst (born September 21, 1956 in Chicago ) is a German theoretical physicist .

Life

Dieter Lüst - his parents Reimar Lüst and Rhea Lüst were also physicists - studied physics at the Technical University of Munich from 1976 to 1982 . It was in 1985 at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) at Harald Fritzsch with the topic Massive Dynamic generation of quarks and leptons doctorate . After postdoctoral years at Caltech in Pasadena and the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich, he worked at CERN in Geneva from 1988 to 1993 - and from 1990 onwards as a Heisenberg fellow . He completed his habilitation in Munich in 1990.

Lüst took over a chair for quantum field theory at the Humboldt University in Berlin in 1993 . In 2004 he moved to the LMU Munich. He has been an External Scientific Member at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Golm since 1998 and Director at the Max Planck Institute for Physics since October 2003.

Dieter Lüst deals with string theory as well as with problems of gauge theories and gravitation . In 2000 he was awarded the Leibniz Prize of the German Research Foundation for his achievements .

He is the editor of the journal Advances in Physics / Progress of Physics and co-editor of the Journal of High Energy Physics (JHEP).

In 2006 Lüst received the Gay Lussac Humboldt Prize .
