Andrzej Buras
Polish physicist
Andrzej Jerzy Buras (Polish pronunciation: [ˈandʐɛj ˈjɛʐɨˈburas]; born 26 October 1946 in Warsaw, Poland) is a Polish-born Danish theoretical physicist, professor emeritus at the Technical University of Munich (TUM).
Scientific career
He received his master's degree in theoretical physics at the Warsaw University in 1971, and immigrated to Denmark in the same year. One year later, he received his PhD at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. He then worked as a post-doctoral fellow at the Niels Bohr Institute until 1975.
After a fellowship in the CERN theory group from 1975 to 1977, he was first a visitor and then a staff member in the Fermilab theory group from 1977 till 1982. He then became staff member of the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich (1982–1988). In 1988, he was appointed full professor in the Physics Department of the TUM. After his retirement in 2012, he moved to the TUM Institute for Advanced Study where he is leading the focus group 'Fundamental Physics'.
Buras is known for his early work on strong-interaction effects (QCD) in deep-inelastic electron-proton and neutrino-proton scattering (1977–1980), which led to the commonly used MS-bar scheme for QCD calculations. But his most important contributions (1983-now) are in the field of weak decays of mesons; these include high order calculations of QCD effects in most important decays, the phenomenology of CP violation and of quark flavour physics in the Standard Model and in several New Physics models.
“Andrzej Buras” enters the record as polish physicist. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Andrzej, Buras and Polish can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Andrzej Buras” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Andrzej, Buras and Polish provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q24206092. VIAF identifies the subject as 36763171. The Library of Congress control number is nr89011516. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1946, 1971, 1975 and 1977.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
