Citation | Stanley Deser is a world-renowned theoretical physicist whose accomplishments include the Arnowiitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) formulation of general relativity, the discovery with Zumino of Supergravity, the dynamics of flat space with Jackiw and ‘tHooft and many other contributions to the quantum theory of gravity. In the 1980s he was instrumental in securing NSF approval of the LIGO gravitational wave experiment against much opposition. He has a long association with the UK, dating back to collaborations with Bondi and Pirani at King's College, with Sciama at Oxford where he was Visiting Fellow of All Souls, with Duff and Isham at Imperial College, with Gibbons at Cambridge etc. He has been awarded the Einstein Medal 2015 for "important contributions to general relativity, in particular the development of the so-called ADM formalism".Stanley Deser is a world-renowned theoretical physicist whose accomplishments include the Arnowiitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) formulation of general relativity, the discovery with Zumino of Supergravity, the dynamics of flat space with Jackiw and ‘tHooft and many other contributions to the quantum theory of gravity.
