DUNCAN HALDANE - Kratek življenjepis
Duncan M. Haldane je Eugene Higgins profesor fizike na Univerzi Princeton v ZDA in ima naziv "Distinguished Visiting Research Chair" na Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Nobelovo nagrado iz fizike je prejel leta 2016, pri kateri sta sodelovala tudi David J. Thouless in J. Michael Kosterlitz, in sicer za "teoretična odkritja topoloških faznih prehodov in topoloških faz snovi." Profesor Haldane raziskuje različne materiale, kot so plini, tekočine in trdne snovi, kakor tudi nenavadne kvantne materiale. Nobelovo nagrado je prejel za razsikave še bolj nenavadnih topoloških faz, ki naj bi po napovedih prispevale k razvoju novih materialov v elektroniki. Haldane je diplomiral na Univerzi Cambridge leta 1973, kjer je tudi doktoriral iz fizike leta 1978. Kot fizik je delal na Institut Laue-Langevin v Grenoblu v Franciji v letih 1977 do 1981. Bil je docent fizike med letoma 1981 in 1985 na Univerzi Southern California v Los Angelesu, delal je tudi v Bell Laboratories v Murray Hill v New Jerseyu med letoma 1985 in 1997. Od 1987 do 1990 je bil profesor fizike na University of California v San Diegu, od koder je nato prešel na Univerzo Princeton.

DUNCAN HALDANE - Short Biography
Duncan F. Duncan M. Haldane is a Eugene Higgins Professor of Physics at Princeton University, where he has taught since 1990. He was born in London in 1951 and studied at Cambridge University, where his Ph. D. advisor was Philip Anderson, Nobel Laureate 1977, who brought him to Princeton to finish his thesis. He shared the 2016 Nobel Prize for Physics for his seminal and initially-controversial work that helped to open up the new field of "topological quantum matter", a currently extremely active area of theoretical and experimental research. Before coming to Princeton, he has been on the faculty at the University of Southern California and the University of California San Diego, as well as working at Bell Laboratories and the Institut Laue-Langevin in France. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and is a recipient of the Oliver Buckley Prize for Condensed Matter Physics of the American Physical Society, and the Dirac Medal of the International Center for Theoretical Physics.
