Joachim Kupsch is Professor Emeritus of theoretical physics at the Technische Universitat Kaiserslautern, Germany. His research has focused on scattering theory, relativistic S-matrix theory, and infinite-dimensional analysis applied to quantum field theory. His publications have examined canonical transformations, fermionic integration, and superanalysis. His later work looks at open systems and decoherence and he coauthored a book on the subject in 2003.
