Witold Nazarewicz
Witold Nazarewicz ( born December 26, 1954 in Warsaw ) is a Polish nuclear physicist.
Life
Nazarewicz 1977, he received his degree in Technical Physics and Applied Mathematics at the University of Warsaw in 1981 at the Institute for Nuclear Physics in Warsaw doctorate ( where he was then assistant professor ) and his habilitation in 1986, after which it was from 1991 professor at the University of Warsaw (from 1994 title of Professor by the Polish government ). At the same time he is since 1995 professor at the University of Tennessee and since 1996 at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory ( ORNL ), and since 1999 as scientific director of the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility. Since 2009 he is also a visiting professor at the University of the West of Scotland in Paisley (he is the honorary doctorate and in 2008 he was the Carnegie Trust in Scotland to Carnegie Centenary Professor appointed ). He was in the 1980s and 1990s, a visiting professor in Lund, at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Cologne, the Florida State University, the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Liverpool, Kyoto and the Joint Institute of Heavy Ion Research ( JIHIR ) Oak Ridge, where he is in the Directorate since 1999. He also served in various committees on nuclear physics research in the U.S. and advised several large accelerator centers.
He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Institute of Physics and the Polish Physical Society.
Nazarewicz deals with many-body theory in nuclear physics with applications to new fields such as nuclei at high angular momenta ( and high masses, densities and excitation energies, high isospin, etc.) and unstable ( exotic ) isotopes. In 2012 he was awarded the Tom W. Bonner Prize for nuclear physics, for his fundamental work in the development and application of nuclear physics density functional theory, for his stimulating new experiments and interpretations of experiments and the development of a comprehensive theory of physics of exotic nuclei.
He was co-editor in the field of nuclear physics of Reviews of Modern Physics.
He is not with the Polish nuclear physicist Waclaw Nazarewicz (* 1930) to be confused, who was also at the Institute for Nuclear Physics in Warsaw.
