Viatcheslav Mukhanov ( Russian Вячеслав Фёдорович Муханов ;. English transcription Vyacheslav Fyodorovich Mukhanov even Viatcheslav Fyodorovich Mukhanov ;. Scientific transliteration Vjačeslav Fedorovic Muchanov ; * 2. October 1956 in Kanash , Chuvashia ) is a Russian astrophysicist , cosmologist and university teachers .

biography

Mukhanov studied at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology , where he received his doctorate under Vitaly Ginsburg in 1982. Then he was at the Lebedev Institute in Moscow. As a post-doctoral student , he went to Western Europe, including Zurich, and the USA. Muchanow is a professor at the Arnold Sommerfeld Center for Theoretical Physics at the University of Munich .

Muchanow was a pioneer of inflation theory in the early 1980s by being the first to calculate quantum fluctuations in the inflaton field, which are the origins of later structure formation in the universe. His predictions were confirmed by observations of inhomogeneities in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB).

In 2006 he received the Oskar Klein Medal , in 2009 the Swiss Tomalla Prize , in 2011 a Blaise Pascal Guest Professorship in France, in 2012 the Amaldi Medal and in 2013 the Gruber Prize for Cosmology together with Alexei Starobinsky . The Bavarian Academy of Sciences awarded him the Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling Prize in 2014 and in 2015 he was awarded the Max Planck Medal and the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award . For 2019 he received the Dirac Medal (ICTP) .

He is the editor of the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics (JCAP, an electronic journal).
