from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolfram Weise (born February 14, 1946 in Frankfurt am Main ) is a German nuclear physicist and particle physicist.

Life

From 1965, Weise studied physics and mathematics at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main , where he received his diploma in physics in 1969. In 1970 he received his doctorate ( summa cum laude ) from the University of Erlangen and his habilitation in 1974. From 1973 to 1975 he was at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNY) with Gerald Brown and in 1975/76 at CERN (where he had the offer to become a permanent member of the laboratory). In 1976 he became professor for theoretical physics at the University of Regensburg , where he was dean of the physics faculty from 1987 to 1989. From 1994 he was a professor at the Technical University of Munich . From 2007 to 2009 he was vice dean there. In 2012 he retired.

From 2001 to 2004 he was and from 2012 director of the European Center for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas (ECT) in Trento

He was visiting scholar at CERN, SUNY, the Free University of Amsterdam, the Science University of Tokyo, the University of Kyoto, the Argonne National Laboratory , at the GSI and at the Institute for Theoretical Nuclear Physics (INT) at the University of Washington .

From 1991 to 2006 he was adjunct professor at Nordita in Copenhagen.

He is married and has two children.

Weise deals with the theory of hadrons and atomic nuclei under aspects of quantum chromodynamics and effective (so-called "chiral") field theories of mesons (especially pions ) to describe hadrons, nuclear matter and nuclei, with quark-gluon plasma and other extreme states of hadronic matter and their phases.

Memberships, editorship, honors

2007 Giulio Racah Memorial Lecturer at the Hebrew University and 2010 Emilio Segre Distinguished Lecturer at Tel Aviv University . He was a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 2002 and received the Alexander von Humboldt-JC Mutis Prize in 1995.

He was co-editor of Physical Review Letters (2005 to 2007), Physics Reports (1990 to 2012) and the Zeitschrift für Physik A and its successor European Physical Journal A (1984 to 2000).

Weise was on the program committee of LAMPF at Los Alamos National Laboratory , the ELSA accelerator laboratory in Bonn, the MAMI in Mainz and on the advisory board of the accelerator laboratories of the University and TU Munich, CERN (PSSC, 1982 to 1984), was on the supervisory board of the GSI (1998 to 2000) and its Scientific Council (1999 to 2000 as chairman) and in the Scientific Committee of the Italian nuclear research center INFN in Frascati (2003 to 2009). Since 2006 he has been on the advisory board of the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics at Kyoto University and he is on the program committee of J-PARC (since 2012).
