Boris Shklovskii

Boris Ionowitsch Shklovskii (born 1944) is a theoretical physicist, at the William I Fine Theoretical Physics Institute, University of Minnesota, specializing in condensed matter. Shklovskii earned his A.B. degree in Physics, in 1966 and a Ph.D. in condensed matter theory, in 1968 from Leningrad University.[1]

Shklovskii is known for the Efros–Shklovskii variable-range hopping conductivity, a model for the temperature dependence of the hopping conductivity in the variable-range hopping regime.[2]

Honors and awards

Shklovskii was awarded the Landau Prize of Academy of Sciences of USSR in 1986, the A.S. Fine Chair in Theoretical Physics in 1990,[1][3] and was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 1997.[4]

In 2018, he received the 2019 Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics Prize for "pioneering research in the physics of disordered materials and hopping conductivity" together with Alexei L. Efros and Elihu Abrahams.[5]

gollark: And that's a great example of it being "arbitrary".
gollark: "Stupid" more in the sense of "I don't really like it" and "it doesn't appear to be sensibly solving an actual problem".
gollark: Well, it's "arbitrary" in the sense of "determined by chance, whim, or impulse, and not by necessity, reason, or principle", as the interweb™️ puts it.
gollark: So very stupid and arbitrary...
gollark: No, I wouldn't, since that would be even more triangular.
