Нима Аркани-Хамед: Иран-Америкалық-Канадалық Теориялық Физик

American Canadian physicist (born 1972)

Nima Arkani Hamed (نیما ارکانی حامد; born April 5, 1972) is an Iranian American Canadian theoretical physicist of Iranian descent, with interests in high energy physics, quantum field theory, string theory, cosmology and collider physics. Arkani Hamed is a member of the permanent faculty at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. He is also director of the Carl P. Feinberg Cross Disciplinary Program in Innovation at the Institute and director of The Center for Future High Energy Physics (CFHEP) in Beijing, China.

Arkani Hamed's parents, Jafargholi "Jafar" Arkani Hamed and Hamideh Alasti are both physicists from Iran. His father, a native of Tabriz, had worked for the Apollo program in the early 1970s, was chairman of the physics department at Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, and later taught earth and planetary sciences at McGill University in Montreal. Arkani Hamed was born in Houston and spent the early years of his life between Iran and the United States. He would accompany his father on hikes in Tehran almost every weekend. Since 2008, he has been a professor in the School of Natural Sciences at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. Since 2013, Arkani Hamed has been a leader in research on the amplituhedron as a geometric structure that simplifies calculations of particle interactions in certain quantum field theories. In 2021 he became the first Carl P. Feinberg Director of the Cross Disciplinary Program in Innovation at the Institute for Advanced Study.

In 2003 he won the Gribov Medal of the European Physical Society, and in the summer of 2005 while at Harvard he won the Phi Beta Kappa award for teaching excellence. In 2008, he won the Raymond and Beverly Sackler Prize given at Tel Aviv University to young scientists who have made outstanding and fundamental contributions in Physical Science. He was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2009. He gave the Messenger lectures at Cornell University in 2010, and was an
A. D. White Professor at Large at Cornell University from 2013 to 2019. In 2012 he was an inaugural awardee of the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, the creation of physicist and internet entrepreneur, Yuri Milner. He was one of six physicists featured in the award winning 2013 documentary film
Particle Fever, and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2017. In 2021, he was awarded the Sakurai Prize of the American Physical Society.
