Gerald Guralnik

Gerald Stanford Guralnik is a professor of physics at Brown University. He is most famous for his (co-)discovery of the Higgs mechanism and Higgs Boson with C. R. Hagen and Tom Kibble [ [http://prola.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v13/i20/p585_1 Global Conservation Laws and Massless Particles] ] [ [http://chep.het.brown.edu/stlouis-v4.pdf A Physics History of My part in the Theory of Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking and Gauge particles with a mix of modern ideas] ] . As part of Physical Review Letters 50th anniversary celebration, the journal recognized this discovery as one of the milestone papers in PRL history [ [http://prl.aps.org/50years/milestones Physical Review Letters - 50th Anniversary Milestone Papers] ] .

Guralnik received his B.S. from MIT and his Ph.D. from Harvard University and specializes in Elementary Particle Theory, most notably in developing computational algorithms for numerical Quantum Field Theory. Professor Guralnik is a fellow of American Physical Society.
