A theoretical <particle physicist> who, with <Gerardus 't Hooft>, developed a consistent procedure for <regularization> and <renormalization> of <gauge theories>. Their 1972 paper handles divergent loop calculations while preserving the identities needed for gauge consistency in nonanomalous cases. This made higher-order predictions in theories such as the <electroweak interaction> calculable rather than formally infinite.<Regularization and renormalization of gauge fields by Gerardus 't Hooft and Martinus Justinus Godefridus Veltman>[Abstract and introduction: overlapping divergences, Ward identities and arbitrary perturbative order]{ref}
