Hubert Saleur

Hubert Saleur (born December 28, 1960 in Aix-en-Provence, France) is a French-American theoretical physicist. He has worked on quantum field theories and their applications to condensed matter physics and statistical mechanics. He has received recognition from the French Physical Society for his contributions to the study of phase transitions in disordered quantum systems and transport problems in nanophysics, and by the French National Center for Scientific Research for his contributions to conformal field theory. His work includes the exact determination of critical exponents in two-dimensional percolation.
