"The following year, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded jointly to François Englert and Peter Higgs.

François Englert, who completed a PhD in physics at the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) in 1959[..]"

Yes, even if most people have only ever heard of Higgs the 2013 Nobel Prize was shared between Englert and Higgs.

Yes, even if most people have only ever heard of ULB as the place where FOSDEM happens it is also Englert's alma mater.

Oh wow. I attended one of his seminars in Brussels after he was awarded the Nobel prize. Memorably event, he seems quite charismatic and a good speaker.

Always a bit of a shame that the “Higgs” Boson stuck as the name, dropping Englert (and Brout).
