Savas Dimopoulos (/dɪˈmɒpəlɒs/; Greek: Σάββας Δημόπουλος; born 1952) is a particle physicist at Stanford University.
Dimopoulos is well known for his work on constructing theories beyond the Standard Model, which are currently being searched for and tested at particle colliders like LHC at CERN and at experiments all over the world.
He also proposed the ADD model of large extra dimensions with Nima Arkani-Hamed and Gia Dvali.
In 2006, the American Physical Society awarded Dimopoulos the Sakurai Prize, "For his creative ideas on dynamical symmetry breaking, supersymmetry, and extra spatial dimensions, which have shaped theoretical research on TeV-scale physics, thereby inspiring a wide range of experiments.
"[2][3] In 2006, he received the Caterina Tomassoni and Felice Pietro Chisesi Prize at the University of Rome, Italy.
