Ikaros Bigi (born 27 August 1947) is a German theoretical physicist . His research focuses on refining the Standard Model phenomenology. [1] [2]
Biography
Bigi graduated from Gymnasium Fridericianum, Erlangen, in 1967. Six years later he received a Master from the Max-Planck-Institute for Physics , University of Munich , where he stayed until 1977 to finish his PhD in Theoretical Physics. Since 1984 he is also a holder of Habilitation degree in Physics, acquired from RWTH Aachen University .
During his career, Bigi has been a research associate in many research teams in laboratories for Physics around the world. To summarize, some of them were SLAC (1973-1974), the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich (1975-1981), CERN (1978-1980), the Fermilab (1984). He has also been a visiting professor to universities over the U.S. and Europe, with duties currently being performed for the University of Notre Dame , Indiana .
Bigi is an enthusiastic writer and reviewer with plenty of contributions to scientific journals; he is a member of International Committees and organisations for Physics, taking active part in seminars and conferences held worldwide.
Bigi is married and has three children.
Awards
Along with Anthony Ichiro Sanda , he was awarded the 2004 Sakurai Prize for his work on CP violation and B meson decays. [3]
