Felix Villars (French: [vilaʁ]; 6 January 1921 – 27 April 2002) was a Swiss-born American emeritus professor of physics at MIT.
[1] Villars was born in Biel, Switzerland and served in the Swiss Army during the Second World War, working as a meteorologist.
They developed a method of dealing with mathematical singularities in quantum field theory, in order to extract finite physical results.
Along with Victor Weisskopf, he studied the scattering of radio waves owing to atmospheric turbulence.
Villars was a key figure in creating the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology, a collaboration between Harvard University and MIT.
