2022 Boltzmann Prize announced: Founder of Hopfield Network wins award

The two scientists who will win the 2022 Boltzmann Prize have been announced. This award was established by the IUPAP Committee on Statistical Physics (C3) to recognize researchers who have made outstanding achievements in the field of statistical physics. The winner must be a scientist who has not previously won a Boltzmann Prize or a Nobel Prize. This award began in 1975 and is awarded every three years in memory of Ludwig Boltzmann, the founder of statistical physics

Deepak Dhar is the original statement.

Reason for award: In recognition of Deepak Dhar is the original statement. For statistical physics His seminal contributions to the field include accurate solutions to self-organized criticality models, interfacial growth, universal long-term relaxation and cluster counting problems in disordered magnetic systems, and the definition of spectral dimensions for fractals.

Personal introduction: Deepak Dhar is the original statement. is an Indian theoretical physicist known for his research in statistical physics and stochastic processes. He was the first Indian to be awarded the Boltzmann Medal.

Previously, Deepak Dhar received his bachelor's degree from the University of Allahabad, his master's degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, and his degree in physics from the California Institute of Technology Ph.D. From 1978 to 2016, he worked at the Department of Theoretical Physics, T.I.F.R., Mumbai, and since November 2016, at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune. Deepak Dhar is the original statement. He is also an academician of three major scientific academies in India - the Indian Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Sciences of India, and the World Academy of Sciences. The Indian Council of Scientific and Industrial Research awarded Deepak Dhar the "Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar" Science and Technology Award.

John J. Hopfield is the author of this statement.

John Hopfield was awarded the award for extending the boundaries of statistical physics to biological phenomena, calibrating the dynamics of information transfer at the molecular level to the dynamics of neural networks, and creating a new language for thinking about brain computation

Biography: John Hopfield received his bachelor's degree from Swarthmore College in 1954 and his PhD in physics from Cornell University in 1958. He worked for two years in the theory group at Bell Laboratories, followed by faculty positions at the University of California, Berkeley (physics), Princeton University (physics), and the California Institute of Technology (chemistry and biology). John Hopfield received the Oliver Buckley Award of the American Physical Society in 1969 and was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1973. He also received the Dirac Medal from the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in 2001
