Jürgen Fuchs (physicist)
Jürgen Fuchs (born May 19, 1957 in Baden-Baden ) is a German physicist specializing in theoretical physics .
Fuchs received his doctorate in 1985 from Heidelberg University . He was a post-doc at Princeton University . In 1992 he was at CERN (and again in 1998/99) and at NIKHEF in Amsterdam . In 1997/98 he was at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in Bonn and in 1999 at the ETH Zurich . Since 2000 he has been a professor at the Swedish University of Karlstad . Among other things, he was visiting scholar at the University of Hamburg , at the Erwin Schrödinger Institute for Mathematical Physics , at the University of Paris VI and the University of Oslo .
Fuchs deals with mathematical physics, in particular with conformal field theory and infinitely dimensional Lie algebras (Kac-Moody algebras), about which he wrote two monographs.
From 1992 to 1997 he was a Heisenberg fellow of the German Research Foundation.
