In this interview, Sheldon Glashow, Professor of Physics Emeritus at Harvard University and Professor of Physics Emeritus at Boston University, reflects on his career and Nobel Prize winning work. He discusses his childhood friendship with Steve Weinberg and his passion for science from a young age.
Sheldon Glashow | Physics. Emeritus. Research Interests: Electroweak Symmetry Breaking. The problems of the breakdown of electroweak and flavor symmetries are among the most pressing facing particle physics today.
A theoretical physicist focusing on elementary particles and cosmology, his honors include the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics (with Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam) for their contributions to the electroweak theory and the 2011 European Physical Society Prize for inventing the GIM mechanism (Glashow, Iliopoulos, Maiani).
Professor Sheldon Glashow has been a professor of physics at Boston University for 30 years. He developed important theories of electromagnetic and nuclear particle interaction while studying at Harvard University.
