Nominator's project description

Professor Anthony Zee is well-known internationally for his outstanding research in quantum field theory, high energy physics and solid state physics. He has made important contributions to the fields of matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe, renormalization group in gauge theories, random matrix theory, fractional statistics and anyon superconductivity. During his stay in Germany, he intends to elaborate on the problems of Dark Energy and physics of the early Universe.
