Allan H. MacDonald (born December 1, 1951) is a theoretical condensed matter physicist and the Sid W. Richardson Foundation Regents Chair Professor of Physics at The University of Texas at Austin.[1][2][3][4] His research interests are centered on the electronic properties of electrons in metals and semiconductors.[5] He is well known for his work on correlated many-electron states in low-dimensional systems.[6] In 2020, he became one of the laureates of the Wolf Prize in Physics, for predicting the magic angle that turns twisted bilayer graphene into a superconductor.[3][7]
