His research interests lied in atomic physics, heavy ion physics, nuclear physics, elementary particle physics (particularly in quantum electrodynamics and quantum chromodynamics). He is known for his series of books in theoretical physics, particularly in Germany but also around the world. He was born in Neuenbau, Sonnenberg, Germany. He studied physics at the University of Frankfurt (Goethe University Frankfurt), receiving a BSci in physics, a master's degree in 1960 with a thesis on Plasma-reactors, and a PhD in 1961 at the University of Freiburg under Hans Marshal. During 1962-1964 he was assistant professor at the University of Maryland, followed by a Research Associate, University of Freiburg, 1964. Starting in 1965, he became a full professor at the Institute for Theoretical Physics at Goethe University Frankfurt until 1995. In 2003, with Wolf Singer, he was the founding Director of the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies (FIAS), and gives lectures and seminars in elementary particle physics.) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Greiner> |
