Piet Brouwer
Piet Wibertus Brouwer (* 1971 in Capelle aan den IJssel ) is a Dutch theoretical solid-state physicist .
Piet Brouwer studied mathematics and physics at the University of Leiden with a diploma in physics in 1993 and in mathematics in 1994 and a doctorate in physics in 1997. From 1997 to 1999 he was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University . In 1999 he became Assistant Professor , 2003 Associate Professor and 2008 Professor at Cornell University . Since 2009 he has been a professor at the FU Berlin at the newly founded Dahlem Center for Complex Quantum Systems (DCCQS), of which he is director.
He deals with mesoscopic systems that show transitions from quantum behavior to classical behavior, for example quantum dots , magnetism at the nanoparticle level (nanomagnetism with possible application to memory chips), the influence of charged impurities on graphs , quantum chaos , random matrices and the physics of disordered electronic systems.
He was a Sloan Fellow in 2000/2001 and a Packard Fellow from 2001 to 2006 . In 2006 he received the Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation and in 2008 he was awarded a Humboldt Professorship at the Free University of Berlin in Dahlem.
