Francis Halzen, born in Belgium in 1944, is a US citizen. He is 
currently Hilldale and Gregory Breit Distinguished Professor at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison and Director of its Institute for 
Elementary Particle Physics. He is also the Principal Investigator for 
the
IceCube project, the world’s largest neutrino detector, and has served 
on various advisory committees, including those for the SNO (Sudbury
Neutrino Observatory, Canada), the Max Planck Institutes in Heidelberg 
and Munich, the ICRR at the University of Tokyo, the US Particle
Physics Prioritization Panel and the ApPEC particle astrophysics 
advisory panel in Europe.
In 2015, Halzen was awarded the Balzan Prize for Astroparticle Physics 
including neutrino and gamma-ray observation “for his unparalleled
accomplishments which have led to the construction of the large IceCube 
Neutrino Observatory in the south polar ice, a facility that has opened 
up
a new window into the Universe through the study of cosmological high 
energy neutrinos”.
