Herbert Spohn

Herbert Spohn (born 1 November 1946) is a German mathematician and mathematical physicist working in kinetic equations; dynamics of stochastic particle systems, hydrodynamic limit; kinetic of growths processes; disordered systems; open quantum systems dynamics of charged particles coupled to their radiation field; Schrödinger operators; functional integration and stochastic analysis.

His PhD was obtained in 1975 at the University of Munich under the supervision of Georg Süßmann [de].

[1] He is currently (in the year 2021) Emeritus Professor of the Department of Mathematics of the Technical University Munich.

He wrote the books Large Scale Dynamics of Interacting Particles (Springer, 1991)[5] and Dynamics of Charged Particles and Their Radiation Field (Cambridge University Press, 2004).

He gave an invited talk at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010, on the topic of "Mathematical Physics".
