About the speaker:
Prof. Dr. David J. Gross is a Nobel Laureate in Physics, awarded the 2004 Nobel Prize “for the discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of the strong interaction.” This breakthrough resolved one of the final major challenges of the Standard Model of particle physics by explaining how quarks interact inside the atomic nucleus.
Professor Gross joined the University of California, Santa Barbara in January 1997 and served as Director of the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) until 2012. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, and spent 31 years on the faculty at Princeton University, where he held the positions of Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics and Thomas Jones Professor of Mathematical Physics. He is the current holder of the Chancellor's Chair Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics.
Professor Gross is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences. His many honors include the J. J. Sakurai Prize (APS), a MacArthur Fellowship, and France’s highest scientific distinction, the Grande Médaille d’Or.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
