Editing Berni J. Alder

Winner of the [[Boltzmann Medal]]
"For inventing the technique of [[molecular dynamics]] simulation and showing that with such "computer experiments" important discoveries in the field of [[statistical mechanics]] can be made, in particular the melting/crystallization transition of [[hard sphere model | hard spheres]] and the long-time decay of [[auto-correlation functions]] in fluids."

Alder is a professor emeritus of applied science at the University of California, Davis, and a consultant with the Institute for Scientific Computing Research at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
