Steven R. White

Steven R. White (born December 26, 1959 in Lawton, Oklahoma) is a professor of physics at the University of California, Irvine. He graduated from the University of California, San Diego; he then received his Ph.D. at Cornell University, where he was a shared student with Kenneth Wilson and John Wilkins. He is most known for inventing the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) in 1992. This is a numerical variational technique for high accuracy calculations of the low energy physics of quantum many-body systems. His over one hundred seventy papers on this and related subjects have been used and cited widely—his most cited article has received about four thousand citations.

gollark: Anyway, superior forward thinking would be to make a startup which uses modern NLP stuff to procedurally generate religions customized for each user's requirements.
gollark: It is generally nontrivial to "bury" people in space, is all.
gollark: Oh, I guess there would probably be existing standards for it due to oceans, yes.
gollark: It isn't forward thinking, they said they actually had a Malaysian astronaut go up.
gollark: I am also worried about the space burial part.
