    Walter Kohn was an Austrian-born American theoretical physicist and theoretical chemist. He was awarded, with John Pople, the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1998. The award recognized their contributions to the understandings of the electronic properties of materials.

This computational simplification led to many insights and became an essential tool for electronic materials,... (wikipedia)
