Dimitri Nanopoulos is a Greek physicist. He is one of the most regularly cited researchers in the world, cited more than 33,000 times over across a number of separate branches of science. He studied Physics at the University of Athens and he graduated in 1971, continuing his studies at the University of Sussex in England, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1973 in High Energy Physics.

  • Dimitri Nanopoulos is a Greek physicist. He is one of the most regularly cited researchers in the world, cited more than 33,000 times over across a number of separate branches of science. He studied Physics at the University of Athens and he graduated in 1971, continuing his studies at the University of Sussex in England, where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1973 in High Energy Physics. He has been a Research Fellow at the Center of European Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland and for many years has been a staff member and Research Fellow at the Ecole Normale Superieure, in Paris, France and at Harvard University, Cambridge, United States. In 1989, he was elected Professor at the Department of Physics, at the NASA-supported Texas A&M University, where since 1992 he has been a Distinguished Professor of Physics, and since 2002 holder of the Mitchell/Heep Chair in High Energy Physics; he is also a distinguished HARC fellow at the Houston Advanced Research Center in Houston, Texas. In 1997 he was appointed regular member of the Academy of Athens, and in 2005 President of the Greek National Council for Research and Technology, Greek National Representative to the European Laboratory for Particle Physics, CERN, and to the European Space Agency. He has made several contributions to particle physics and cosmology, and works in string unified theories, fundamentals of quantum theory, astroparticle physics and quantum-inspired models of brain function. He has written over 540 original papers, including 13 books. He has over 33,000 citations, placing him as the fourth most cited High Energy Physicist of all time, according to the 2001 and 2004 census. Since 1988 he has been fellow of the American Physical Society, and since 1992 member of the Italian Physical Society. In 1996, he was made Commander of the Order of Honour of the Greek State. With his colleagues John Hagelin, a former U. S presidential candidate, and the British physicist John Ellis he derived the flipped SU(5) model of the unification of forces from heterotic string. On 17 October, 2006 he was awarded the Onassis International prize by the Alexander S. Onassis Foundation.
  • Dimitri Nanopoulos ist ein griechischer theoretischer Physiker, der sich mit Elementarteilchenphysik beschäftigt. Nanopoulos studierte Physik in Athen, wo er 1971 graduierte, und danach an der University of Sussex in England, wo er 1973 in Hochenergiephysik promovierte. 1975 bis 1976 war er Curie-Fellow an der École normale supérieure in Paris und 1977 bis 1979 Research-Fellow in Harvard. 1979 bis 1986 war er beim CERN, 1986 bis 1988 Physikprofessor an der University of Wisconsin und ab 1989 Professor an der Texas A&M University, wo er seit 2002 den Mitchell/Heap Chair in High Energy Physics hat und die Astroparticle Physics Group am HARC (Houston Advanced Research Center) leitet. Gleichzeitig ist er Leiter der Abteilung theoretische Physik der Akademie in Athen. Nanopoulos arbeitete auf zahlreichen Gebieten der Elementarteilchenphysik, Quantenfeldtheorie und Astro-Teilchenphysik. In den 1970er Jahren arbeitete er mit Mary Gaillard und John Ellis über das Higgs-Boson und GUTs. Er soll sogar mit Ellis der Namenspatron von GUT sein. Mit Ellis, Olive, Srednicki und Hagelin gab er 1984 Massen-Abschätzungen für supersymmetrische Kandidaten dunkler Materie. Er beschäftigte sich mit der Anwendung von Supergravitation und Stringtheorie. Mit John Ellis und John Hagelin entwickelte er die „flipped SU (5)“–GUT, angelehnt an die Heterotische Stringtheorie. Er entwickelte auch mit John Ellis und Nikolaos Mavromatos eine Theorie, in der die Lichtgeschwindigkeit nicht konstant, sondern frequenzabhängig ist, für die er auch astrophysikalische Tests angab. Sie leiteten diese Theorie aus einem Quantengravitations-Modell ab. 1995 machte er sich auch Gedanken über mögliche Zusammenhänge von Gehirnfunktion (Bewusstsein) und fundamentalen quantenmechanischen Prozessen, ähnliche Theorien verfolgte auch Roger Penrose. 2006 erhielt er den Onassis-Preis. Seit 1988 ist er Mitglied der American Physical Society, seit 1997 Mitglied der Athener Akademie der Wissenschaften und seit 1992 der Italienischen Physikalischen Gesellschaft. Seit 2005 ist er Präsident des griechischen nationalen Forschungsrats und griechischer Vertreter beim CERN und bei der ESA.
