Józef Sznajd (Personal webpage )Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research, Polish Academy of SciencesJ\'ozef Sznajd was born in Wroclaw, Poland, 21 February 1947. He completed his PhD at the Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research, Polish Academy of Sciences (ILTSR PAS) in 1973 where he also received his Habilitation (1980) and professorship (1989). He is currently a head at ILTSR PAS. Other notable position include being a Humboldt fellow (1985--1986) and visiting professor (1991--1992) at the University of Cologne. His research interests include the study of solid state theory, theory of phase transitions, low dimensional spin and fermion systems, applications of the real space renormalization group method to the study of low dimensional quantum spin systems and applications of statistical physics to sociological and political environments. In 1971 and 1978 he received the Award of Scientific Secretary of PAS. He is also a Member of the Presidium of the Physics Committee of the PAS. |
