Zvi Bern is currently Professor of Physics at UCLA. He received undergraduate degrees in physics and mathematics from MIT and a PhD in theoretical particle physics from UC Berkeley. He is widely known in theoretical physics for research into improved ways of calculating Feynman diagrams without using Feynman diagrams, offering new insights into quantum gravity and into experiments to be carried out at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
He has won a Sloan Foundation Award and an Outstanding Junior Investigator Award from the U.S. Department of Energy.
