Heterotic string theory was first developed by what American theoretical physicist and string theorist who was awarded the 2004 Nobel Price in Physics along with Frank Wilczek?
Heterotic string theory In string theory, a heterotic string is a closed string (or loop) which is a hybrid ('heterotic') of a superstring and a bosonic string. There are two kinds of heterotic string, the heterotic SO(32) and the heterotic "E" × "E", abbreviated to HO and HE. Heterotic string theory was first developed in 1985 by David Gross, Jeffrey Harvey, Emil Martinec, and Ryan Rohm (the so-called "Princeton String Quartet"), in one of the key papers that fueled the first superstring revolution.
Mikhail Voloshin Mikhail "Misha" Voloshin (born 1953) is a Russian and American theoretical physicist. Voloshin started working at ITEP in 1976 and accordingly earned his Ph.D. in 1977. In 1983 he received a Soviet medal and an award in physics. Since 1990 he started at the William I Fine Theoretical Physics Institute, University of Minnesota, a division of the University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering where he teaches quantum physics. In 1997 elected a fellow of the American Physical Society. In 2001 he was awarded J.J. Sakurai Prize for Theoretical Particle Physics and in 2004 he was awarded the Alexander-von-Humboldt Award.
