Nestor Jalil Azziz, theoretical/nuclear physicist (b. December 11, 1932, Durazno, Uruguay), best known for his work on the elastic-solid nuclear body model and the three and many-body problem formalisms. Served as Chair, Dept. of Physics, University of San Jose, Costa Rica (1960-61); Senior Scientist, Atomic Power Division, Westinghouse Corp. (1963-68); Professor, Physics, College of Engineering, University of Uruguay (1970-71); Professor, Physics and Mathematics, University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez and advisor to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico on alternative energy sources (1971-84); Research Scientist and Senior Advisor on semiconductor technology, IBM Corp. (1984-1990); and Senior Research Scientist, U.S. Dept. of Energy (1990-97). Education included a degree in Industrial Engineering, University of Uruguay (1958), an MS in Physics and Nuclear Technology, University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez (1960), and a Ph.D. in Physics, Pennsylvania State University (1963).
