Michael Creutz

Michael Creutz (* November 24, 1944 in Los Alamos, New Mexico) is an American theoretical physicist.

Life

Michael Creutz studied 1962-1966 at the California Institute of Technology physics. There he received a Bachelor of Science with honors. He then continued his studies at Stanford University. He was Graduate Fellow of the National Science Foundation and received in 1968 a Master of Science. In 1970 he completed his doctorate there in Sidney Drell. From March to August 1970 he worked as a Research Associate at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. After that he was from 1970-1972 Fellow of the Center for Theoretical Physics of the University of Maryland. Since 1972, Michael Creutz working in the High Energy Theory Group at Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Creutz has been active since the 1970s in the numerical simulation of quantum field theories, and special Yang-Mills theories ( lattice gauge theories ). In 1983 he introduced the microcanonical Monte Carlo simulation.

2000 he received the Aneesur -Rahman price.
