Topological Defects and Phase Transitions in Two Dimensions
(A Random Walk Through Physics To The Nobel Prize)
J. Michael Kosterlitz, Nobel Laureate Physics 2016
Harrison E. Farnsworth Professor of Physics, Brown University

Professor Kosterlitz earned D.Phil. from the Oxford University as a postgraduate student of Brasenose College, Oxford. During his time at the University of Birmingham, he collaborated with David Thouless, and a postdoctoral student at Cornell University. He was appointed to the faculty of the University of Birmingham in 1974, first as a lecturer and, later, as a reader. Since 1982, he has been professor of physics at Brown University. Kosterlitz does research in condensed matter theory, one- and two-dimensional physics, in phase transitions: random systems, electron localization, and spin glasses and in critical dynamics: melting and freezing. He has been awarded the Maxwell Medal from the British Institute of Physics, and the Lars Onsager Prize from the American Physical Society both for his work on the Kosterlitz–Thouless transition. He was also awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2016 shared with David Thouless and Duncan Haldane for work on the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.
