Michael Creutz
Michael Creutz (born November 24, 1944 in Los Alamos , New Mexico ) is an American theoretical physicist.
Life
Michael Creutz studied physics at the California Institute of Technology between 1962 and 1966 . There he received a Bachelor of Science degree with distinction. He then continued his studies at Stanford University . He was a Graduate Fellow of the National Science Foundation and received a Master of Science degree in 1968 . In 1970 he did his doctorate there with Sidney Drell . From March to August 1970 he was a Research Associate at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center . He was then a fellow of the Center for Theoretical Physics at the University of Maryland from 1970 to 1972. Michael Creutz has been working in the High Energy Theory Group at Brookhaven National Laboratory since 1972 .
Creutz has been active in the numerical simulation of quantum field theories and especially Yang-Mills theories ( lattice range theories ) since the 1970s . In 1983 he introduced the micro-canonical Monte Carlo simulation .
In 2000 he received the Aneesur Rahman Prize . In 1985 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society .
