It is with great sadness that the family and the department of physics at New York University announce the death of Alberto Sirlin on 23 February 2022. On the faculty of the physics department beginning in 1959, Alberto pioneered the field of precision calculations in the standard model of elementary particle physics, which he advanced to an unparalleled degree and of which he remained a leader for over 60 years. Many world-renowned experts in the field were his students. An outstanding member of the physics department and the physics community, Alberto was a Fellow of the American Physical Society and was recognized among other distinctions by the APS Sakurai Prize, the Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Humboldt Fellowship.
