Early life and education

Career

After graduating from Carnegie Mellon, Holstein became an instructor at Princeton University. In 1971, he left Princeton and taught at University of Massachusetts Amherst.[3] He described his research interests as including high energy physics, nuclear phenomenology, and effective field theory.[4] He officially retired in 2008.[3] In 2009, he became the editor of the Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science, a position he holds as of 2020.[5][6]

Awards and honors

In 1989, Holstein was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society on the basis of "his work on the phenomenology of weak interactions, specifically in the areas of CP violation and on the particle/nuclear physics interface".[7] In 2019, Holstein won the Herman Feshbach Prize in Theoretical Nuclear Physics.[3]
