Comment: With a Scopus h-factor of 23, 2K cites I do not see a pass of WP:NPROF as he has worked on high citation topics. Please read carefully WP:NPROF. If he had major awards such as being elected as an APS Fellow that will be enough. Beyond that I do not think he will ever qualify, sorry. Ldm1954 (talk) 19:51, 12 September 2026 (UTC)

Norman J. Morgenstern Horing (July 29, 1932 – April 19, 2026) was an American theoretical physicist and Emeritus Professor of Physics at the Stevens Institute of Technology.[1] His research focused on quantum statistical field theory, many-body systems, plasmonics, and the electronic and optical properties of two-dimensional materials, particularly graphene.
Early life and education
[edit]Horing was born in Brooklyn, New York, on July 29, 1932. He earned his bachelor's degree from the City College of New York and completed his graduate studies at Harvard University, where he received his Ph.D. in physics in 1964 under the supervision of Nobel laureate Julian Schwinger.[2]
Academic career
[edit]Horing spent much of his academic career as a faculty member in the Department of Physics at Stevens Institute of Technology, where he was later appointed Professor Emeritus.[1] He authored numerous papers and several textbooks on quantum field theoretical methods in condensed matter physics, non-equilibrium Green's function techniques, and nanostructure electrodynamics.
Death
[edit]Horing died on April 19, 2026, at the age of 93, and was interred in Saddle Brook, New Jersey.[3]
