George Franklin Sterman (born June 2, 1946)[3] is an American theoretical physicist and the Director of the C. N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook University where he holds the rank Distinguished Professor.
Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook in 1979.
[5] He also worked on reformulation and proof of factorization theorems with Stephen Libby, John C. Collins and Davison E.
[5] He authored a textbook entitled An Introduction to Quantum Field Theory in 1993.
George Sterman was awarded the 2003 J.J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics "For developing concepts and techniques in QCD, such as infrared safety and factorization in hard processes, which permitted precise quantitative predictions and experimental tests, and thereby helped to establish QCD as the theory of the strong interactions.
