David Pines was the founding co-director of the Institute for Complex Adaptive Matter (a multicampus research program of the University of California) and Research Professor of Physics and Professor Emeritus of Physics and Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Center for Advanced Study at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, on whose faculty he had served since 1978. The recipient of two Guggenheim Fellowships, the Feenberg Medal and the Friemann, Dirac, and Drucker Prizes, Dr. Pines made seminal contributions to the theory of many-body systems and to theoretical astrophysics. His research focuses on the search for the organizing principles responsible for emergent behavior in matter, with particular attention to correlated matter, the study of materials in which unexpectedly new classes of behavior emerge in response to the strong and competing interactions among their elementary constituents. He was a member of National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts & Sciences and the Russian Academy of Sciences. David Pines died May 3, 2018, at age 83 in Urbana, Illinois. | |||
