Stephen Louis Adler (born November 30, 1939) is an American physicist specializing in elementary particles and field theory.
Adler was born in New York City. He received an A.B. degree at Harvard University in 1961, where he was a Putnam Fellow, and a Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1964. He is the son of Irving Adler and Ruth Adler and older brother of Peggy Adler.
Adler was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1974. He became a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in 1966, becoming a full Professor of Theoretical Physics in 1969, and was named "New Jersey Albert Einstein Professor" at the institute in 1979.
He has won the J. J. Sakurai Prize from the American Physical Society in 1988, and the Dirac Medal of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in 1998, among other awards.
Adler's seminal papers on high energy neutrino processes, current algebras, soft pion theorems, sum rules, and perturbation theory anomalies helped lay the foundations for the current standard model of elementary particle physics.
In 2012, Adler contributed to a family venture when he wrote the foreword for his then 99-year-old father's 87th book, "Solving the Riddle of Phyllotaxis: Why the Fibonacci Numbers and the Golden Ratio Occur on Plants". The book's diagrams are by his sister Peggy.
