Sheldon Glashow | Physics. Emeritus. Research Interests: Electroweak Symmetry Breaking. The problems of the breakdown of electroweak and flavor symmetries are among the most pressing facing particle physics today.
Sheldon Glashow shared the 1979 physics award with Harvard colleague Steven Weinberg and Pakistani-born physicist Abdus Salam (1926–96), for their contributions to the theory of the unified weak and electromagnetic interaction between elementary particles.
A theoretical physicist focusing on elementary particles and cosmology, his honors include the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics (with Steven Weinberg and Abdus Salam) for their contributions to the electroweak theory and the 2011 European Physical Society Prize for inventing the GIM mechanism (Glashow, Iliopoulos, Maiani).
