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. Uwe-Jens Wiese is Professor at the University of Bern, and his research is focused on strongly interacting quantum systems in particle and condensed matter physics. He studied at the University of Hannover, and he previously held positions at the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where his work has been recognized by an Afred P. Sloan Fellowship. He was a recipient of an ERC Advanced Grant for the duration from 2014 to 2019, and of a Humboldt Research Award in 2022.
