John Kogut
John Benjamin Kogut (born March 6, 1945 in Brooklyn ) is an American theoretical physicist.
Kogut received his doctorate in 1971 from Stanford University under James Bjorken with the thesis Quantum Electrodynamics at Infinite Momentum: Applications to High Energy Scatterin and was then until 1973 at the Institute for Advanced Study . He is Professor of Physics at the Loomis Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Kogut dealt with the parton image in high energy scattering, light front formalism and quantum chromodynamics , especially in the lattice formulation , on which he worked with Kenneth Wilson and Leonard Susskind as early as the 1970s.
From 1976 to 1978 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . In 1982 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society .
