Article
Frank Anthony Wilczek (/ˈvɪltʃɛk/ or /ˈwɪltʃɛk/; born May 15, 1951) is an American theoretical physicist. He shared the 2004 Nobel Prize in Physics with David Gross and H. David Politzer "for the discovery of asymptotic freedom in the theory of the strong interaction".
Wilczek is the Herman Feshbach Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Founding Director of T. D. Lee Institute (Shanghai) and Chief Scientist at the Wilczek Quantum Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (SJTU), distinguished professor at Arizona State University (ASU) during February and March and full professor at Stockholm University. He has written popular science. Longing For the Harmonies (1988), cowritten with his wife Betsy Devine, draws on parallels between physics and music. A Beautiful Question (2015) looks at the universe as a work of art. In May 2022, he was awarded the Templeton Prize for his "investigations into the fundamental laws of nature", that have "transformed our understanding of the forces that govern our universe".
