Bruno Zumino (April 28, 1923) is an Italian theoretical physicist and emeritus faculty at the University of California, Berkeley. He obtained his DSc degree from the University of Rome in 1945.
He is renowned for his rigorous proof of the CPT theorem with Gerhart Lüders;[1] his pioneering systematization of effective chiral Lagrangians;[2] the discoveries, with Julius Wess, of the Wess–Zumino model,[3] widely viewed as the first four dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theory outside the Soviet Union, and initiator of the field of supersymmetric radiative restrictions; and for his deciphering of structured flavor-chiral anomalies, codified in the Wess–Zumino–Witten model of conformal field theory.[4]
