O autorze

Hung T. Diep is distinguished professor of physics at CY Cergy Paris University (formerly University of Cergy-Pontoise), France, since 1991. He obtained his doctorate in science at the University Paris Denis Diderot, France, in 1979. As a theorist, he worked on condensed matter physics and statistical physics focusing on phase transitions in frustrated spin systems, surface magnetism, and transport phenomena. He was also professor at University Paris Denis Diderot until 1991.
