Asle Sudbø (born 3 May 1961) is a Professor of Physics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). He was a co-author (with his twin brother, Jon Sudbø, and his brother's wife, Wanja Kildal) of two articles in The Lancet and The New England Journal of Medicine[1] that were since found be based on scientific fraud and subsequently retracted in 2006. The editor of The Lancet described this as the biggest scientific fraud conducted by a single researcher ever.[2] However, his brother finally accepted all responsibilities and claimed only he was responsible for the fraud.[3] An official inquiry into Asle Sudbø's involvement with his brother's fabrication took place. The official commission concluded that Jon Sudbø alone was responsible, and allegations against Asle Sudbø was proven to be wrong.[4]

In 2005, he was awarded the Møbius Prize from Research Council of Norway for his research on superconductivity.[5] He is one of four primary investigators that consistute the management of The Center for Quantum Spintronics (QuSpin), a Norwegian research center and Center of Excellence.[6] The other three are Professor Arne Brataas (QuSpin's director); Professor Jacob Linder and Professor Justin W. Wells.[7]
