标题: 2018.06.10 卡洛斯-弗伦克教授 宇宙学家,
Professor Carlos Frenk is a cosmologist and one of the originators of the Cold Dark Matter theory for the formation of galaxies and the structure of the universe. He has worked at Durham University since 1985, where he was appointed the inaugural Ogden Professor of Fundamental Physics in 2001 and has been Director of the Institute for Computational Cosmology since 2002.

Born in Mexico in 1951, he is the son of a German Jewish immigrant father and a Mexican mother with Spanish roots. After completing his physics degree in Mexico, he came to Cambridge University in the mid-1970s to do a PhD in Astronomy. His first postgraduate job took him to the University of California where he worked on a computer simulation of the universe with three fellow cosmologists, disproving the idea that the universe contains hot dark matter and establishing the theory of cold dark matter instead.

Professor Frenk's papers have received more than 100,000 citations, making him one of the most frequently cited authors in the field of space science and astronomy. He has won a number of prizes for his work, including the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society. He was awarded a CBE in 2017.



卡洛斯-弗伦克教授是一位宇宙学家,是关于星系形成和宇宙结构的冷暗物质理论的发起人之一。他自1985年起在杜伦大学工作,2001年被任命为奥格登基础物理学首任教授,2002年起担任计算宇宙学研究所主任。

他于1951年出生在墨西哥,父亲是德国犹太移民,母亲是有西班牙血统的墨西哥人。在墨西哥完成物理学学位后,他于1970年代中期来到剑桥大学攻读天文学博士学位。他的第一份研究生工作把他带到了加利福尼亚大学,在那里他与三位宇宙学同行一起从事宇宙的计算机模拟工作,推翻了宇宙包含热暗物质的观点,建立了冷暗物质的理论。

弗伦克教授的论文获得了超过100,000次的引用,使他成为空间科学和天文学领域中最常被引用的作者之一。他的工作获得了许多奖项,包括皇家天文学会的金奖。他在2017年被授予CBE。
