BIOGRAPHY SUMMARY

John (Jean) Iliopoulos is a Greek physicist. He is the first person to present the Standard Model of particle physics in a single report. He is best known for his prediction of the charm quark with Sheldon Glashow and Luciano Maiani. Iliopoulos is also known for demonstrating the cancellation of anomalies in the Standard model. He is further known for the Fayet–Iliopoulos D-term formula, which was introduced in 1974. He is currently an honorary member of Laboratory of theoretical physics of École normale supérieure, Paris.

NOTABLE WORK

WHY THEY MATTER

Ioannis Iliopoulos was intellectually unique for his pioneering work in particle physics, particularly for presenting the Standard Model in a comprehensive report and his prediction of the charm quark alongside Glashow and Maiani. His demonstration of anomaly cancellation in the Standard Model and the development of the Fayet-Iliopoulos D-term formula further solidified his groundbreaking contributions to theoretical physics. His honorary membership at the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics at École Normale Supérieure, Paris, speaks to his lasting impact on the field.
