James Sauls

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Avery Sauls is an American theoretical physicist.

Sauls received his bachelor's degree in physical engineering from the Colorado School of Mines in Golden in 1975 and his PhD from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1980 . As a post-doctoral student he was at Princeton University , in 1983/84 at Nordita in Copenhagen and at Aalto University in Helsinki, and from 1983 was Assistant Professor at Princeton. In 1987 he became a professor at Northwestern University .

He was visiting professor at the University of Grenoble and at Chalmers University in Gothenburg.

In Stony Brook he dealt with extreme matter in neutron stars, later with solid state physics (superconductivity, superfluids like helium 3).

In 2017, together with his experimental physics colleague William Halperin from Northwestern University (with whom he works a lot) and Jeevak Parpia from Cornell University, he received the Fritz London Memorial Prize for the investigation of disorder in superfluid helium 3 and the insights into its complexities that this enabled Symmetry breaking behavior.

He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (1998). In 1994 he received a Max Planck Research Prize and in 2012 the John Bardeen Prize.
