Witold Nazarewicz

Witold Nazarewicz (born December 26, 1954 in Warsaw ) is a Polish nuclear physicist .

Life

Nazarewicz received his diploma in technical physics and applied mathematics at the University of Warsaw in 1977, received his doctorate at the Institute for Nuclear Physics in Warsaw in 1981 (and was then assistant professor there) and habilitated in 1986 , after which he was professor at the University of Warsaw from 1991 (from 1994 with Professor title from the Polish state). At the same time he was Professor at the University of Tennessee from 1995 to 2014 and from 1999 to 2015 in various functions at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), including from 1999 to 2011 as Scientific Director of the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility . Since 2014 he has been the John A. Hannah Distinguished Professor in Physics at Michigan State University . He was visiting professor at numerous institutions in Europe, the USA and Japan, including the University of the West of Scotland in Paisley from 2009 to 2012 and at the Joint Institute of Heavy Ion Research (JIHIR) in Oak Ridge from 1991 to 1995 . He also served on various committees for nuclear physics research in the United States and advised several large accelerator centers.

research

Nazarewicz deals with many-particle theory in nuclear physics with applications to new fields such as nuclei at high angular momenta (as well as high masses, densities and excitation energies, high isospin, etc.) and unstable ( exotic ) isotopes. He is the author of over 400 scientific articles and has been cited over 30,000 times and has an h index of 98 (as of 2019, Google Scholar).

He was Associate Editor on the Nuclear Physics division of Reviews of Modern Physics .

Honors

In 1985 Nazarewicz was awarded the Wojciech Rubinowicz Science Prize of the Polish Physical Society , and in 2012 he received the Tom W. Bonner Prize for Nuclear Physics for his fundamental work in the development and application of the density functional theory of nuclear physics , for his stimulation of new experiments and interpretations of Experiments and the development of an overarching theory of the physics of exotic nuclei . For 2017 he was awarded the Flerov Prize .

He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Institute of Physics .

He is an Honorary Doctor of the University of the West of Scotland (2009) and was appointed Carnegie Centenary Professor by the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland in 2008.

He should not be confused with the Polish nuclear physicist Wacław Nazarewicz (* 1930), who was also at the Institute for Nuclear Physics in Warsaw.
