Why Is Paul Chaikin Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Paul Michael Chaikin is an American physicist known particularly for many significant contributions to the field of soft condensed matter physics. Education and research career After graduating from Stuyvesant High School in New York City, Paul Chaikin earned his B.S. in physics from California Institute of Technology in 1966, and his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Pennsylvania in 1971 working with Kondo superconductors. He joined the physics faculty at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1972 and studied thermopower, density waves, and high field phenomena mostly in organic superconductors. The lure of actually seeing the microscopics of a system led him to soft matter. He helped develop techniques to measure elasticity and motion and understand colloidal interactions. Hard and soft matter interests continued after joining the faculty at UPenn , the staff at Exxon Research and the faculty at Princeton University .
