Farhad Ardalan

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Farhad Ardalan (born November 3, 1939 in Tehran ) is an Iranian physicist who deals with theoretical elementary particle physics and string theory.

Ardalan studied physics at Columbia University with a bachelor's degree in 1963 and a master's degree in 1966 and received his doctorate in 1970 from the University of Pennsylvania . 1970 to 1978 he was assistant professor and from 1982 professor at the Sharif University for Technology in Tehran (between 1978 and 1982 he was associate professor at Mazandaran University). From 1989 to 1992 he headed the physics faculty. In 2009 he retired.

Ardalan deals with Yang-Mills theories , superstring theories and branes, non-commutative geometry in physics, developed a para-string theory in the early days of string theory (with a quantization that uses parastatistics), constructed modular invariant distribution functions from Wess-Zumino-Witten- Models using the orbifold method, classified solutions of eleven-dimensional supergravity with a quotient structure and discovered the non-commutativity of D-branes in string theory.

In 1989 he co-founded the Institute for Studies in Theoretical Physics and Mathematics (IPM, later the Institute for Research in Fundamental Science). There he is a Senior Fellow and headed the School of Physics from 1994 to 1996 and 1998 to 2004.

In 1976/77 he was visiting professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook , 1973/74 at Yale University and from 1995 to 2003 he was adjunct professor at the University of Cincinnati .,

In 2010 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society .

In 2000 he became a Fellow of the Third World Academy of Sciences and in 1999 he received the Khawrazmi Prize. He was a member of the CMS collaboration at the LHC.
