Stanisław Lech Woronowicz (born 22 July 1941) is a Polish mathematician and theoretical physicist. He is affiliated with the University of Warsaw and is a member of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Between 1981–1984, he served as dean at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Warsaw.[1] Since 1993, he has been a member of the Scientific Council of the Theoretical Physics Center at the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Research
[edit]Woronowicz and Erling Størmer classified positive maps in low-dimensional cases,[2] which translate to the Peres-Horodecki criterion in the context of quantum information theory. He is also known for contributions to quantum groups.
Awards
[edit]Woronowicz was an invited speaker at International Congress of Mathematicians in Warsaw in 1983 and in Kyoto in 1990.[3]
In 1993, he received the Prize of the Foundation for Polish Science for his work on quantum groups and their relations with C*-algebra. He was also awarded Humboldt Research Award in 2008,[4] and Stefan Banach Medal of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 2009.[5]
