Leo Kadanoff
(Redirected from Kadanoff)
Leo Kadanoff is a professor of physics (emeritus as of 2004) at the University of Chicago. He is widely acknowledged for his contributions to statistical physics, chaos theory, and theoretical condensed matter physics.
Kadanoff was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1983 and it was widely expected that he would share the award with Kenneth Wilson of Ohio State University. To everyone's astonishment (including Wilson's) the award was presented solely to Wilson.
Recently Leo Kadanoff, with Leo Irakliotis, established the Center for Presentation of Science at the University of Chicago.
