Edward Witten (born August 26, 1951, Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.) is an American mathematical physicist who was awarded the Fields Medal in 1990 for his work in superstring theory. He also received the Dirac Medal from the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (1985).
In the expansion of the “first superstring revolution,” the great advance in superstring theory started in 1984, Dr. Witten’s geometric analysis of anomalies in gauge fields and gravity fields theory served as an important motivation.
