Biography

Sabre Kais received a BSc, MSc, and PhD degree from Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1983, 1984, and 1989, respectively. From 1989 to 1994, he was a research associate at Harvard University, Department of Chemistry. He joined Purdue University in 1994 as an Assistant Professor of Theoretical Chemistry. Currently, he is a distinguished Professor of Chemical Physics, a Professor of Computer Science, Professor of Physics, and a Professor of Electrical and Computer engineering (courtesy) at Purdue University. He has published over 260 papers in peer-reviewed journals. The research in his group is mainly devoted to finite-size scaling and quantum phase transitions, dimensional scaling, quantum information, and quantum computing. He was director of the NSF-funded center of innovation on “Quantum Information for Quantum Chemistry” from 2010-2013. He has been on the Editorial Board of several journals, including Molecular Physics, Scientific Reports, Frontiers in Physical Chemistry, and Papers in Physics. He has served as an External Research Professor at Santa Fe Institute from 2013 to 2019. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a Guggenheim Fellow, a Purdue University Faculty Scholar, a National Science Foundation Career Award Fellow, a 2012 Sigma Xi Research Award recipient, and a 2019 Herbert Newby McCoy Award recipient, the most prestigious award given by Purdue University in natural sciences.
