Herbert Spohn is a German Mathematcian working in kinetic equations; dynamics of stochastic particle systems, hydrodynamic limit; kinetic of growths processes; disordered systems; open quantum systems dynamics of charged particles coupled to their radiation field; Schrödinger operators; functional integration and stochastic analysis.
His PhD was obtained in 1975 at the University of Munich under the supervision of Joel Lebowitz.
He is currently Professor at the Technical University Munich.
In 2011 he was awarded the Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics.
He wrote the books "Large Scale Dynamics of Interacting Particles" and "Dynamics of Charged Particles and Their Radiation Field".
