Pavel Exner(born 30 March 1946 inPrague) is a Czechmathematical physicist.[1]
Life[edit]
Born on March 30, 1946, in Prague, his parents were Vilem Exner, economist, and Marie, born Karvankova, ophthalmologist. He graduated in 1969 in theoretical physics from theCharles Universityin Prague.[2]
After working at the Charles University as an assistant professor, he moved in 1978 to theJoint Institute for Nuclear Research,Dubnain Russia. Due to peculiarities of the time he had no doctoral advisor and got his PhD only in 1983; still in Dubna he also got the higher doctorate in mathematical physics in 1990.[2]
Back to his home country in 1991 he became head of a mathematical-physics group in theNuclear Physics Institute AS CRof theCzech Academy of Sciences.[2]In 2003 he became professor of theCharles University.Since 2006 he works as the Scientific Director of the Doppler Institute for Mathematical Physics and Applied Mathematics in Prague.[3]
Since 1971 he is married to Jana, born Wiendlova, physicist. They have three daughters and five grandchildren.[2]
Scientific work[edit]
His scientific interests concern in the first place mathematical problems and methods of quantum theory, in particular, unstable systems and resonances, scattering theory, functional integration, and quantum mechanics on graphs, surfaces, quantum waveguides.[2][4]
His best known results include existence of curvature-induced states in quantum waveguides, solvable models of quantum systems with contact interactions, and the theory of leaky quantum graphs.[4]
He was awarded various prizes,[2]among them JINR Prize in theoretical physics and the Neuron Prize for outstanding contributions to science.[5]In 2010 he was elected member ofAcademia Europaea.[6]
His bibliography includes several books and more than two hundred research papers.[7]His best known results include existence of curvature-induced states in quantum waveguides, solvable models of quantum systems with contact interactions, and approximations of vertex couplings in quantum graphs.
Professional service[edit]
He supervised eight PhD students[8]and a number of postdocs.[4]
Member of several professional societies,[2]he served on the Executive Committee of theEuropean Mathematical Societyin 2002-10, later in 2015-18 as the EMS president.[9][10]
He served onIUPAPcommission for mathematical physics (2002-08),[2][11]andInternational Association for Mathematical Physicswhere he was President in 2009-11[12][circular reference].
In 2005 he became a founding member of theEuropean Research Council,[13]in 2011-14 he served as its Vicepresident for the Physical Sciences and Engineering Domain.[14]
Member of several editorial boards, organizer of numerous conferences including the QMath series[15]and theInternational Congress on Mathematical Physics[16]in 2009.
