Frank Wilczek

Frank Wilczek was born in New York, May 15, 1951.

He received a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics at the University of Chicago in 1970, a Master of Arts in Mathematics at Princeton University, 1972, and a Ph.D. in Physics at Princeton University in 1974. Frank Wilczek is a Professor of Physics at MIT. He worked at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Princeton and the Santa Barbara Research Institute.

He is a U.S. Citizen. He married Elizabeth J. Devine on July 3, 1973. They have two children (Amity and Mira).

Wilczek has helped develop axions, anyons, asymptotic freedoms, and other aspects of quantum chromodynamics. Asymptotic freedoms is a part of the standard model. At the age of 21, at Princeton as a graduate student, he help defined the properties of gluons with David Gross.

He has researched condensed matter, astrophysics, and particle physics.

He is researching:
