Daniel Ilyich Khomskii (Russian: Даниил Ильич Хомский; 18 September 1938 – 12 August 2024) was a Soviet-born German physicist.
Starting in 1965, he worked in the Theoretical Department of the Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Science in Moscow.
In 1980, he obtained a second doctoral degree – the Russian equivalent to the German Habilitation or a professorship in the United States.
His main research interests were the theory of systems with strongly correlated electrons, metal-insulator transitions, magnetism, orbital ordering (Kugel-Khomskii model) and superconductivity.
He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2008,[1] and published roughly 300 papers over the course of his career.
