Professor's quest for quantifiable truth wins him top prize in particle physics: Savas Dimopoulos says he wanted a concept of reality 'that didn't depend on the eloquence of the seaker'

Physics Professor Savas Dimopoulos was awarded the 2006 J.J. Sakurai Award for his work in advancing theoretical particle physics. The citation lauds Dimopoulos for "his creative ideas on dynamical symmetry breaking, supersymmetry and extra spatial dimensions, which have shaped theoretical research, thereby inspiring a wide range of experiments."
