Wittenさんこれですね
URLﾘﾝｸ(en.wikipedia.org)
Witten is a researcher in superstring theory, a theory of quantum gravity, supersymmetric quantum field theories and other areas of mathematical physics.[1]
He has made contributions in mathematics and helped bridge gaps between fundamental physics and other areas of mathematics.
In 1990 he became the first physicist to be awarded a Fields Medal by the International Union of Mathematics.
In 2004, Time magazine stated that Witten was widely thought to be the world's greatest living theoretical physicist.
Birth and education
Witten was born in Baltimore, Maryland. He is the son of Lorraine W. Witten and Louis Witten, a theoretical physicist specializing in gravitation and general relativity.
Witten attended the Park School of Baltimore (class of '68), and received his Bachelor of Arts with a major in history and minor in linguistics from Brandeis University in 1971.
He published articles in The New Republic and The Nation.
In 1968 Witten published an article in The Nation arguing that the New Left had no strategy. He worked briefly for George McGovern, a Democratic presidential nominee in 1972. McGovern lost the election in a landslide to Richard Nixon.
Witten attended the University of Wisconsin?Madison for one semester as an economics graduate student before dropping out.[citation needed]
He returned to academia, enrolling in applied mathematics at Princeton University[citation needed] then shifting departments and receiving a Ph.D. in physics in 1976 under David Gross, the 2004 Nobel laureate in Physics.
He held a fellowship at Harvard University (1976?77), was a junior fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows (1977?80), and held a MacArthur Foundation fellowship (1982).
