George Csanak

Short description: Physicist

George Csanak from the Los Alamos National Laboratory (1941–2023) is a Hungarian-born American physicist. He was elected a Fellow^[1] of the American Physical Society,^[2] in the Division of Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics in 1995,^[3] for development of many-body Green's function techniques of bound-state and scattering properties of atomic and molecular systems; significant contributions to the theoretical foundation and physical interpretation of electron-photon coincidence experiments, and for contributions to the understanding of electron scattering.

As a student, he was a recipient of a gold medal in the first International Mathematical Olympiad.^[4] He attended the Lajos Kossuth University (Debrecen, Hungary), where he received a master's degree in physics. He received a Ph.D. in physics in 1971 from the University of Southern California.^[5] In 1975, he joined Los Alamos National Laboratory, working in the Theoretical Division on a variety of problems in atomic, molecular, optical, and quantum physics. Over his career, he published 172 scientific articles that were cited more than 2450 times.^[6]

Csanak died on 22 February 2023.^[7]
