Description
Robert Louis Sugar, known to his friends and colleagues as Bob, played a major role in lattice field theory and, more generally, in theoretical physics. He developed algorithms for condensed matter problems and lattice QCD. He was one of the four founders of the Institute of Theoretical Physics at Santa Barbara funded by National Science Foundation, now known as the Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics or KITP. Bob was the leader of the MILC Collaboration, and a founder of USQCD. He was the initial chair of the Executive Committee (EC), serving for 8 years, and remaining on the EC for a total of 17 years. Finally, Bob was mentor and friend to many in this community. He was a modest man who truly lived up to his name.
