Nominator's project description

Professor Dixon is a leading researcher in theoretical high-energy physics. His contributions range from seminal and mathematically profound papers in the early phase of string theory to very practical high precision calculations in Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) relevant to collider physics. During his stay in Germany, he will work on new ways to solve quantum field theory nonperturbatively and to investigate further the elusive theory of quantum gravity.
