Nobel Laureate Professor Richard Feynman was one of the most in�uential scientists of the last century who came to dominate much of physics in the years after World War II. His ‘Feynman diagrams’ to compute scattering amplitudes revolutionised the �eld of elementary particle physics and is used in many other �elds of quantum physics. His formulation of quantum mechanicsin terms of ‘path integrals’ is the modern way that is mostly used today. A completely independent thinker who was only steered by his own curiosity, his interests went beyond physics, also into biology and arts etc.

The centennial conference will feature Feynman’s contributions in twelve �elds both in physics and beyond, and also discuss where the �elds are today.

As part of the celebration, an exhibition about Feynman’s life and his contribution to science and society will take place at ArtScience Museum (20 October 2018 to 3 February 2019).
