The work that won Deepak Dhar the Dirac Medal | Explained
Theoretical physicist Deepak Dhar has been awarded the prestigious Dirac Medal for his pioneering work on the Abelian sandpile model. His research provides a mathematical framework for understanding self-organized criticality in complex systems.
The story so far: Theoretical physicist Deepak Dhar has been awarded the Dirac Medal for his contributions to statistical physics — an honour he is sharing with three other physicists, Bernard Derrida, Marc Mézard, and Haim Sompolinsky. The Dirac Medal is awarded by the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy, on the birthday of the late British physicist Paul A.M. Dirac, for significant contributions to theoretical physics.
