Dr. Witold Nazarewicz

Physics Professor Witold Nazarewicz has accepted a prestigious Carnegie Centenary Professorship from the Universities of Scotland. The appointment is in 2008 and will last up to six months.

Nominees for these professorships are of the highest academic standing and are invited up to two years in advance. Only one or two invitations are issued for each academic year. Previous appointments have gone to international law scholar Thomas Franck of New York University and Paul A. Bushkovitch of Yale University’s History Department. Dr. Nazarewicz’s host institution will be the University of Paisley, but he will interact with all 13 universities, giving a special lecture at the University of Edinburgh.

Dr. Nazarewicz studies nuclear physics theory and will be the first person representing nuclear physics to hold a Carnegie Centenary Professorship. He joined the UT physics faculty at UT in 1991 and is also the scientific director of the Holifield Radioactive Ion Beam Facility at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
