TEL AVIV UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR SHARES NOBEL PRIZE IN PHYSICS
François Englert, 80, a Belgian Holocaust survivor, was yesterday awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. Englert is a Sackler Professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy at Tel Aviv University, and has taught at, done research at, and been associated with Tel Aviv University for over 30 years. He is also a professor emeritus at the University of Brussels. Englert is a Belgium-born Jew, is a professor at Tel Aviv University, and a Holocaust survivor. In 2004, Englert won the Wolf prize, an Israeli award granted by the Wolf Foundation and seen as a precursor to the Nobel. On Monday, the Nobel Prize for Medicine was awarded to two American Jewish professors, James Rothman and Randy Schekman, together with Thomas Suedhof of Germany.They narrowly beat their Israeli colleagues to the prize. Hebrew University professors Howard Cedar and Aaron Razing were thought to be frontrunners in the run-up to the announcement. Both Israeli and Diaspora Jews have won an incredibly high number of Nobel Prizes.
ISRAELI PROF ARIEH WARSHEL WINS 2013 NOBEL PRIZE IN CHEMISTRY
Israeli professor Arieh Warshel this morning won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, along with two other Jewish professors, Martin Karplus and Michael Levitt. The trio won the award “for the development of multiscale models for complex chemical systems,” the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced. Warshel was born in 1940 in Kibbutz Sde Nahum, and teaches at Israel’s Weizmann Institute, among other universities. Vienna-born Karplus is from the Université de Strasbourg, France and Harvard University, in the U.S. Pretoria-born Levitt is from Stanford University, CA. Both of them are Jewish. Update: Michael Levitt is also an Israeli citizen. He taught at the Weizmann Institute in the 1980s. The latest Nobel laureates, Arieh Warshel and Michael Levitt, announced today, mark Israel’s fifth and sixth winners of the chemistry prize in under a decade. Martin Karplus fled to the U.S. from Nazi-occupied Austria, where he was hunted as a Jew.
