John Clark's career is distinguished by a wide-ranging involvement in both traditional and non-traditional branches of theoretical physics. For three decades he has played a leading role in the development and application of flexible and robust methods for quantitative prediction of the properties of strongly interacting quantum many-particle systems. These methods have yielded fundamental new insights into the nature of the matter inside nuclei and neutron stars, the exotic quantum phenomena of superfluidity and Bose-Einstein condensation in quantum fluids, and the properties of strongly-coupled electron systems and lattice-spin models. In recognition of his pioneering work in this field, Clark was awarded the Eugene Feenberg Medal for Many-Body Physics in 1987. Since the mid-1970s, Clark's research has been increasingly cross-disciplinary in character. An early interest in neural networks as models for brain function led to studies of the complex dynamical behavior and statistical properties of these systems, as well as learning rules that allow them to store and retrieve information. Yet another line of research, conducted in the 1980s with Professor T. J. Tarn of Washington University's Department of Systems Science & Mathematics, resulted in papers that provide the theoretical foundation for the burgeoning field of quantum control. Active control of quantum mechanical systems is at the heart of laser manipulation of chemical reactions and proposed designs for quantum computers. His current research continues to span a broad spectrum — nucleonic superfluidity in neutron stars, broken symmetries in liquid helium, short-range correlations in electron-nucleus scattering, database mining in nuclear physics, and quantum control theory. Working with faculty in the Washington University School of Medicine, he is engaged in theoretical research in neural information processing and computational neuroscience that is centered on the joint supervision of Ph.D. candidates interested in theoretical biology.
