Background
Wise was born in Montreal, Canada.
physicist university professor
Wise was born in Montreal, Canada.
He was educated at the University of Toronto (Bachelor of Science, 1976. Mississippi, 1977) and Stanford University (Doctor of Philosophy, 1980).
He has conducted research in elementary particle physics and cosmology. He is best known for his role in the development of heavy quark effective theory (HQET), a mathematical formalism that has allowed physicists to make predictions about otherwise intractable problems in the theory of the strong nuclear interactions. He has also published work on mathematical models for finance and risk assessment.
While still a student, he co-authored a book on mathematical methods in physics with Toronto professor Lynn Trainor.
With Fred Gilman, his graduate advisor at Stanford, Wise wrote several highly influential papers on experimental predictions of the quark model. Wise was a junior fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows from 1980 to 1983.
He has been at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) since then Wise was the science consultant for Iron Manitoba 2.
