Gabriel Kotliar

Dr. Gabriel Kotliar holds a Board of Governors Professor Chair in the Physics Department at Rutgers University. He made important contributions to theory of strongly correlated and disordered electron systems and his current research interests include the theory of the Mott transition, superconductivity in strongly correlated electron systems, the electronic structure of transition metal oxides, lanthanides and actinides, and the development of first-principles approaches for predicting physical properties of materials.

Kotliar has been a visiting professor at the École Normale and the École Polytechnique in Paris and the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He has been a Fellow of the American Physical Society since 2000 and has co-authored over 200 publications in refereed journals. Kotliar's fellowships and awards include an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow, a Presidential Young Investigator Award, a Lady Davies Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a Europhysics Prize.
