- Edward Witten - Scholars | Institute for Advanced StudyEdward Witten’s work exhibits a unique combination of mathematical power and physics insight, and his contributions have significantly enriched both fields. He has greatly contributed to the modern interest in superstrings as a candidate theory for the unification of all known physical interactions.
- Edward Witten | Kyoto Prize - 京都賞Dr. Witten has made significant contributions to theoretical physics for more than 30 years as a leader in the dramatic evolution of superstring theory. Moreover, by applying his physical intuition and mathematical skills, he has advanced mathematics, and prompted the cutting-edge research of many mathematicians.
- Edward Witten (1951 ) - National Science FoundationWitten was the first physicist to receive the Fields Medal, a prize for outstanding mathematical achievement presented at the International Congress of Mathematicians.
