Eugene Michael Chudnovsky (born 12 December 1948) is a Distinguished Professor of Physics at Lehman CollegeLehman College, Chudnovsky in the list of Faculty. and a member of the doctoral faculty at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. Chudnovsky is a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS), elected 1993 for "seminal contributions to random ferromagnetism, macroscopic quantum tunneling, and hexatic order in high Tc materials". He is mostly known for his work on quantum tunneling of magnetization. Chudnovsky explained magnetic avalanches experimentally observed in molecular magnets as deflagration. Chudnovsky received his undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral education at Kharkiv University in Ukraine, in the school of theoretical physics founded by Lev Landau and his students. The denial by the USSR of an exit visa to Chudnovsky in 1979 led to his unemployment for eight years, during which he continued independent research in theoretical physics and p ...

Committee Of Concerned Scientists
The Committee of Concerned Scientists (CCS) is an independent international organization devoted to the protection and advancement of human rights and scientific freedom of scientists, physicians, engineers, and scholars. History The committee was formed in 1972 in Washington and New York as an ad hoc group of scientists and scholars concerned about violations of academic freedom and persecution of scientists around the world. (Sometimes the creation of the committee is dated to 1973.) Most of the activities of the Committee in the 1970s and 1980s were aimed to help refuseniks and dissident scholars in the Soviet Union and Soviet bloc countries. The Committee lobbied both the Soviet and western governments on behalf of these oppressed scholars, provided moral and financial support to them and organized conferences and meetings of refuseniks, including in the Soviet Union itself. Sometimes the Concerned Scientists Committee is credited with having coined the actual term " refuse ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
