MONTREAL — A Quebec-born scientist who has contributed to research that won his collaborator this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics says he hopes to inspire Canadians to value science.
Patrick Charbonneau has been a close collaborator of Italian physicist Giorgio Parisi, who was a co-winner of this year’s prize for his work on complex physical systems.
Charbonneau over the last decade has worked with Parisi on publishing a number of papers on complex glasses, two of which were cited by the Nobel committee as scientific background.
The Montreal-born Duke University professor said today in an interview from North Carolina that Parisi’s prize is the culmination of decades of research.
