'''Dieter Lüst''' (born 21 September 1956 in [[Chicago]]) is a German physicist, full professor for mathematical [[physics]] at the [[Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich]] since 2004 and a director of the [[Max Planck Institute for Physics]] in [[Munich]]. His research focuses on [[string theory]]. In 2000, he received the [[Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize]] of the [[Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft]], which is the highest honour awarded in German research.
==Education==
Dieter's parents, [[Reimar Lüst]] and Rhea Lüst, were also physicists. He studied physics from 1976 to 1982 at the [[Technical University of Munich]] before receiving a doctorate from the [[Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich]] in 1985 and [[habilitation]] was completed in 1990.
==Career==
Lüst performed his postgrad work at the [[California Institute of Technology]] and [[Max Planck Institute for Physics]]. He was a Fellow at the [[CERN|European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)]] in [[Geneva]] between 1988 and 1990, and was there again with a Heisenberg fellowship in 1990/93.<ref name="mpgBio">{{cite web|url=https://www.mpg.de/382228/physik_wissM17|title=Prof. Dr. Dieter Lüst - Curriculum Vitae|publisher=[[Max Planck Society|Max-Planck Gesellschaft]]|accessdate=2019-07-12}}</ref> In 1993, he took up a chair in quantum field theory at the [[Humboldt University of Berlin]]. He has been an external scientific member of the [[Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics]] in Golm.
With [[Anamaría Font]], Luis E. Ibáñez, and [[Fernando Quevedo]] they proposed a weak-strong duality conjecture which introduced the concept of [[S-duality]] in 1990.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Polchinski |first=Joseph |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=m2Q0EAAAQBAJ&dq=polchinski+font+ibanez+s+duality&pg=PA143 |title=Memories of a Theoretical Physicist: A Journey across the Landscape of Strings, Black Holes, and the Multiverse |date=2022-05-24 |publisher=MIT Press |isbn=978-0-262-36890-2 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Font |first1=A. |last2=Ibáñez |first2=L.E. |last3=Lüst |first3=D. |last4=Quevedo |first4=F. |date=October 1990 |title=Strong-weak coupling duality and non-perturbative effects in string theory |url=https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/0370269390905239 |journal=Physics Letters B |language=en |volume=249 |issue=1 |pages=35–43 |doi=10.1016/0370-2693(90)90523-9|bibcode=1990PhLB..249...35F }}</ref>
He has been an editor of ''[[German_Physical_Society#Historical_publications|Fortschritte der Physik]]'' and a co-editor of ''[[Journal of High Energy Physics]]''.
