Piet Hut

My current program of research aims at developing a Fully Engaged Science and Technology (FEST), including a science of mind component, to complement our current version of a science of matter, natural science, with the ultimate goal of unifying both into a single science of reality.

For an overview of my other interests, see Activities. After starting my appointment at IAS in 1985 as Professor of Astrophysics, I became the Head of the Program in Interdisciplinary Studies from 2002 to 2023.  For a flavor, see this IAS newsletter essay; a paper I wrote with two IAS postdocs; and an review of my interdisciplinary program, written by some of my visitors.
