Isaac B. Bersuker (Russian: Исаáк Бóрухович (Бори́сович) Берсýкер; born February 12, 1928) is a Soviet-Moldоvan-American theoretical physicist and quantum chemist whose principal research is in chemical physics, solid-state physics, and theoretical chemistry. Known for his "life-long years of experience in theoretical chemistry" working on the electronic structure and properties of coordination compounds, Isaac B. Bersuker is “one of the most widely recognized authorities” in the theory of the Jahn-Teller effect (JTE) and the pseudo-Jahn-Teller effect (PJTE). His accomplishments include explaining the polarization of the atomic core in Rydberg atoms, the effect of tunneling splitting in molecules and solids with a strong JTE, and the discovery of the PJTE origin of ferroelectricity in cubic perovskites. Known as the leading expert in JTE and PJTE, Bersuker is the permanent Chairman of the International Steering Committee of the Jahn-Teller symposia. His present affiliation is with the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Science of the Department of Chemistry of the University of Texas at Austin.
