Gian Michele Graf

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gian Michele Graf (born July 14, 1962 ) is a Swiss mathematical physicist. He is a professor at the ETH Zurich .

Graf studied physics and mathematics at the ETH Zurich, where he obtained his diploma under Jürg Fröhlich in 1986 and received his doctorate in 1990 under Walter Hunziker . Afterwards he was Assistant Professor of Mathematics at Caltech and from 1992 Assistant Professor of Theoretical Physics at ETH, where he received a full professorship in 2001.

In 1995/96 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study .

In 1992 he was a Sloan Fellow . In 1998 he was invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Berlin ( Stability of Matter in classical and quantized fields ).

He dealt with fundamental thermodynamic properties of matter (in particular questions from the area of ​​the problem of the stability of matter according to Elliott Lieb and others, where he worked with Jürg Fröhlich ), many-particle scattering processes in quantum mechanics, quantum pumps and various problems in solid state physics such as the Quantum Hall Effect and Topological Insulators .

Graf is a citizen of Lugano and Rebstein .
