Wolfgang Bietenholz is Professor of physics at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). His research focuses on lattice field theory with applications to elementary particles and condensed matter. He also writes articles on physics, mathematics, and the history of science for a broader audience. He studied at ETH Zürich and the University of Bern, and held previous positions at CBPF in Rio de Janeiro, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), NORDITA, and the Humboldt University in Berlin.
