Eduard Prugovečki (March 19, 1937 – October 13, 2003) was a Canadian physicist and mathematician of Croatian-Romanian descent. Prugovečki was born in Craiova, Romania to a Romanian mother, Helena (née Piatkowski), and Croatian father, Slavoljub. He completed the first four years of secondary education in Bucharest, before his family was forced to relocate to Zagreb in 1951, due to an anti-Yugoslav campaign by the communist authorities. He finished high school there and proceeded to study physics at the University of Zagreb, getting his diploma in 1959. He joined the Department of Theoretical Physics at the Institute Ruđer Bošković in Zagreb, where he worked as a research assistant until 1961.

  • Eduard Prugovečki (* 19. März 1937 in Craiova, Rumänien; † 13. Oktober 2003 in Mexiko) war ein kanadischer Physiker und Mathematiker kroatisch-rumänischer Abstammung. Prugovečki wurde 1937 als Sohn von Helena (geborene Piatkowski) und Slavoljub in Craiova geboren. 1951 musste die Familie aufgrund von antijugoslawischen Strömungen im kommunistischen Rumänien nach Zagreb ziehen, wo Prugovečki die Schule abschloss und ein Physikstudium an der Universität Zagreb begann. Nachdem er 1959 sein Diplom erhalten hatte, arbeitete er als Forschungsassistent im Fachbereich Theoretische Physik am Rugjer Bošković-Institut in Zagreb. 1961 ging Prugovečki als Bester seines Jahrganges an die Princeton University, wo er unter dem theoretischen Physiker Arthur Wightman sein Doktorat begann, welches er 1964 als Ph.D. abschloss. 1965 zog er nach Kanada, wo er zuerst zwei Jahre als Postdoc am Institut für theoretische Physik in Edmonton, Alberta und anschließend ein Jahr als Dozent an der Universität von Alberta arbeitete. Er unterrichtete Physik an der Universität Toronto von 1967 bis 1997. 1974 verbrachte er ein Jahr als Gastprofessor am Centre national de la recherche scientifique in Marseille. 1998 ging Prugovečki in den Ruhestand, den er zuerst in , Ontario und anschließend am Chapalasee in Mexiko verbrachte, wo er 2003 66-jährig starb. Eduard Prugovečki verfasste mehrere Lehrbücher. Insbesondere ist sein Buch Quantum Mechanics in Hilbert Space, welches eine mathematisch relativ fundierte Einführung in die abstrakte Quantenmechanik liefert, weit verbreitet. (de)

In 1961, as the best student of his generation in Zagreb, Prugovečki was sent to Princeton University, New Jersey, United States. He wrote his doctoral thesis under the direction of theoretical physicist Arthur Wightman, and earned his PhD from Princeton in 1964. In 1965, he moved to Canada, where he first spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Theoretical Physics in Edmonton, Alberta, and then a year as a lecturer at the University of Alberta. He taught mathematical physics at the University of Toronto from 1967 to 1997. In 1974, he spent one year as a visiting professor at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique in Marseille, France. Around 1986 he resigned from his membership in the International Association of Mathematical Physics. His research interests were quantum field theory, unification of theory of relativity and quantum theory and quantum gravity. He introduced the concept of . In 1998 he retired to live in Honey Harbour, Ontario. Prugovečki died at the age of 66 at his home at Lake Chapala, Mexico. (en)
