O autorze

Malvin H. Kalos is a physicist at the Lawrence Livermore National laboratory. He received his PhD in Physics at the University of Illinois in 1952. After postdoctoral research at Illinois and Cornell, he joined the staff of United Nuclear Corporation. In 1964, he became a Senior Research Scientist, later Research Professor and then Professor of Computer Science at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences,New York University. In 1989, he returned to Cornell as Professor of Physics and Director of the Theory Center. His research interests include Monte Carlo Methods and computational many-body physics. He is the recipient of the 1989 Feenberg Memorial Medal for advancement of many-body theories from first principles.
