Leo Radzihovsky is a Russian American condensed matter physicist and academic serving as a professor of Distinction in Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Radzihovsky's theoretical research integrates classical and quantum aspects of condensed matter, revealing novel states of matter and phase transitions between them, driven by strong fluctuations and/or spatial heterogeneity. He has authored numerous journal articles in leading journals, delivered talks at conferences and workshops, and is the recipient of the LeRoy Apker Award, Jonsson Valedictorian Prize, NSF CAREER Award.
Radzihovsky is a Simons Foundation Investigator, a Fellow of the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, and an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow.
