Abstract
Manfred Ristig was a leading contributor to the advancement of microscopic theory of strongly interacting quantum many-body systems for over four decades. This retrospective on his life and scientific career pays tribute to his pivotal role in the development of correlated wavefunction approaches to quantitative ab initio description of quantum fluids, nuclear systems and condensed matter more generally. Highlights include his contributions to the formulation of Fermi hypernetted chain theory and correlated density matrix theory. Special attention is given to Ristig's seminal work of recent years, which has yielded rich insights into the interplay of exchange effects (arising from quantum statistics) and the strong interactions between constituent bosons or fermions.
