Jean-Patrick Connerade is an Emeritus Professor of Physics at Imperial College London and a distinguished member of the European Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters (EASAL) in Paris. He holds a Doctor of Science (D.Sc.) degree from the University of London and has made pioneering contributions to atomic and molecular physics, particularly in the study of quantum confinement, atomic structure, and resonances in confined atoms and ions. Over his illustrious career, Professor Connerade has published more than 213 scientific documents, amassing 4,363 citations and achieving an impressive h-index of 30, reflecting his enduring impact on the global scientific community. His notable works include “The Arrow of Time in Quantum Theory” (2025), “The Atom at the Heart of Physics” (2023), and studies on C₆₀ spin-charging and confinement resonances. A prolific author and thought leader, he has contributed extensively to understanding the fundamental behavior of atoms under confinement and the crossover between simple and complex quantum systems. Recognized internationally for his scholarship, Professor Connerade continues to inspire physicists worldwide through his deep insights into atomic theory and his leadership in advancing interdisciplinary research in quantum and optical physics.
