Early life edit
Academic career edit
Buras studied physics at the University of Warsaw and obtained his master's degree in 1971. After emigrating to Denmark, he obtained his PhD in high-energy theoretical physics in 1972 from the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen under the supervision of Professor Poul Olesen. After spending three more years as a postdoc in Copenhagen, he was a fellow in the CERN theory group from 1975 to 1977 and then moved to Fermilab for five years, before becoming a staff member of the theory group at the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich in 1982. Since 1988, he is a full professor in the Physics Department of the Technische Universität München in Munich.
