Title :
Kenneth G. Wilson: from quantum chromodynamics to redesigning education
Abstract :
Kenneth G. Wilson, the Nobel laureate discovered he could further his physics research by computation, and helped develop the now-ubiquitous theme of grand challenges using supercomputing. He also discovered something else: the way we prepare students to face the modern world´s challenges, grand or otherwise, needs reengineering.<>
