Robert Seiringer

Seiringer studied physics at the University of Vienna, where in 1999 he acquired his diploma and in 2000 with Jakob Yngvason as thesis advisor attained a doctorate.

Seiringer made substantial progress in the mathematical theory of quantum gases and particularly Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC).

He partly proved the existence of BEC for interacting boson gases in the Gross–Pitaevskii limit[1] in collaboration with Elliott Lieb.

They proved also superfluidity in this limit and derived the Gross–Pitaevskii equation in the special case of BEC in rotating containers.

In 2009 Seiringer received the Henri Poincaré Prize for "major contributions to the mathematical analysis of low temperature condensed matter systems, in particular for his work on Bose condensation and the Gross-Pitaevskii equation".
