Professor of Theoretical Physics at Leiden University, The Netherlands. He is best known for his contributions to the understanding of the quantum physics of the electrons in strongly correlated material, and in particular High temperature superconductivity. He introduced the Zaanen-Sawatzky-Allen diagram, the LDA+U band structure method and he became particular well known for his discovery of the stripe instability of the doped Mott insulator. His present research is focussed on the Quantum Critical Point and unconventional phases of quantum matter. He is also well known for his many editorial contributions to Nature (journal) and Science (journal). He is at present on the board of reviewing editors of the latter journal.

Was a French physicist and Nobel laureate.While a lecturer at the Paris Faculty of Science, he collaborated with his wife on research on the structure of the atom, in particular on the projection of nuclei, which was an essential step in the discovery of the neutron. In 1935 they were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.In 1937 he left the Radium Institute to become a professor at the Collège de France working on chain reactions and the requirements for the successful construction of a nuclear reactor that uses controlled nuclear fission to generate energy through the use of uranium and heavy water. Joliot-Curie was one of the scientists mentioned in Albert Einstein's letter to President Roosevelt as one of the leading scientists on the course to chain reactions. The Second World War would, however, largely stalled Joliot's research, as did his subsequent post-war administrative duties.
