Francis Louis Halzen (born 23 March 1944 in Tienen, Belgium) is a Belgian-American particle physicist, known for the development of the IceCube Neutrino Observatory at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica which has been operational since 2010.
Life
Halzen graduated from Université catholique de Louvain with a MSc Physics degree in 1966, then a PhD in 1969. Between 1969-1971 he worked as a scientific associate at CERN. Since 1972 he has been a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the principal investigator on the AMANDA and IceCube projects.[1]
With Alan Martin he is the co-author of Quarks and Leptons, a standard text.[2]
