David Alan Huse (born May 16, 1958) is an American theoretical physicist, specializing in statistical physics and condensed matter physics. [1] [2]
After graduating from Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, Huse matriculated at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he graduated in 1979 with a B.S. in physics. [3] He received in 1983 his Ph.D. from Cornell University with a thesis [4] [5] supervised by Michael E. Fisher. From 1983 to 1996, Huse worked in Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill. In 1996, he was appointed a professor in the physics department of Princeton University. [3] At the Institute for Advanced Study, he has been appointed to positions for the autumn of 2010, and for the academic years 2015–2016, 2019–2020, and 2021–2022. [6]
Prof. Huse is a world class recognized expert in the fields of statistical physics and quantum many-body physics. He has made outstanding contributions to topics such as phase transitions, spin glasses and magnetic ordering in materials. His current research interests include ultracold atomic systems and non-equilibrium physics, and explore phenomena as quantum thermalization and many body localization. [7]
He was elected in 2010 a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, [8] in 2013 a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, [9] and in 2017 a member of the National Academy of Sciences. [1] In 2022 he received the Lars Onsager Prize with Boris Altshuler and Igor Aleiner for ""foundational work on many-body localization, its associated phase transition, and implications for thermalization and ergodicity." [3]
In 1982 he married Julia Smith. They have two sons.
