Howard Eli Haber (born 3 February 1952 in Brooklyn, New York City)[1] is an American physicist, specializing in theoretical elementary particle physics.
[3] From 1985 to 1988 Haber held an Outstanding Junior Investigator Award from DOE.
In 2009 he received a Humboldt Research Award, with which he was a visiting professor at the University of Bonn.
[3] His research deals with the physics of the Higgs boson and also possible Standard Model extensions such as the low-energy sector of supersymmetry theory,[4] which he considers fundamental for the study of physics beyond the Standard Model.
[5][6] In 2017 he, together with three collaborators, received the Sakurai Prize for, according to the laudation, "instrumental contributions to the theory of the properties, reactions, and signatures of the Higgs boson".
