Alan R. Bishop

Alan Bishop is an internationally recognized leader in theory, modeling, and simulation for interdisciplinary condensed matter, statistical physics, nonlinear science, and functional, multiscale complexity. He has made major contributions in the areas of soliton mathematics and applications, quantum complexity, structural and magnetic transitions, collective excitations in low-dimensional organic, inorganic and biological materials, and complex electronic and structural materials with strong spin-charge-lattice coupling. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, The Institute of Physics, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a recipient of the Department of Energy’s E.O. Lawrence Award, a Humboldt Senior Fellow, and a Los Alamos Laboratory Fellow. Further information can be found here.
