George A. Sawatzky is recognized as one of the most respected researchers in the field of condensed matter. His pioneering work on the electronic structure of strongly correlated systems, and his contribution to the understanding of physical properties of transition metal oxides and the interplay between the spin, charge and orbital degrees of freedom have made him a much sought-after speaker at international conferences.
