Konstantin Efetov

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Konstantin Efetov ( Russian Константин Борисович Ефетов , Konstantin Borissowitsch Jefetow ; born April 29, 1950 in Tschkalow ) is a Russian theoretical physicist.

From 1967 Efetov studied physics and mathematics in Moscow at the Institute of Physics and Technology , where he obtained his engineering degree in 1973. He received his doctorate ( candidate nauk ) in 1976 with AI Larkin at the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics in Moscow, where he has been researching since 1973 and, after his habilitation in 1983 (Russian doctorate), researched and taught as a senior scientist. From 1982 to 1988 he also taught at the Moscow Physical-Technical Institute. From 1989 to 1996 he was director at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research (or from 1995 at the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems ) in Stuttgart and at the same time continued to be a senior scientist at the Landau Institute.

In 1997 Efetov became professor for theoretical physics at the Ruhr University in Bochum .

Efetov is known for work on the application of supersymmetry in solid-state physics, for example to describe disordered systems, localization, quantum chaos and in mesoscopic systems. He also studied the properties of graphs and the physics of granular systems.

In 1998 he received the Landau Weizmann Research Prize.

Konstantin Efetov is married and has two children.

He should not be confused with the Ukrainian biochemist and biologist Konstantin Efetov (Konstantin Alexandrowitsch Jefetow).
