First of all, briefly introduce life.

Yang 1 922 ~), a Chinese-American theoretical physicist,1922+1October1was born in Hefei County, Anhui Province (including Hefei). In the Physics Department of The National SouthWest Associated University, he completed his bachelor's thesis under the guidance of Wu Dayou. 1942 After graduation, he entered the graduate school for further study and studied statistical physics under the guidance of teacher Wang Zhuxi. 1945, he went to America and became a graduate student at the University of Chicago. Influenced by E Fermi, he finished his doctoral thesis under the guidance of his tutor E Taylor. 1948 received the doctorate from 1948 ~ 1949, and worked as a faculty member at the university of Chicago. From 1955 to 1966, he was a professor at the institute, and from 1966, he was the Einstein chair professor of physics at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, and he was the director of the newly established Institute of Theoretical Physics at the university. The President of the United States awarded him the National Science and Technology Award of 1985. 1984 65438+On February 27th, Peking University awarded Yang Zhenning the honorary professor certificate.

Second, scientific achievements.

Yang Zhenning has made extensive contributions to theoretical physics, including elementary particles, statistical mechanics and condensed matter physics. He made many contributions to theoretical structure and phenomenological analysis. His works have a special style: independence and creativity, and far-reaching vision.

1956 cooperated with Li Zhengdao, deeply studied the puzzling mystery of θ-τ at that time, and won the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics.

Yang Zhenning visited People's Republic of China (PRC) in the summer of 197 1, and was the first famous American scholar to visit New China. After he returned to the United States, he did a lot of work to promote the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, promote mutual understanding between the two peoples, and promote the exchange of science and technology education between China and the United States. Yang Zhenning was appointed honorary professor of Peking University, Fudan University, China University of Science and Technology and Sun Yat-sen University, and member of the Academic Committee of Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Yang Zhenning, Chinese American, professor, director of Xi Shi Institute of Theoretical Physics, new york State University. Foreign Academician of China Academy of Sciences. Professor Einstein Lecture, physicist, 1957 Nobel Prize winner in physics. 1922 was born in Hefei, Anhui province, China on September 22nd. 1938- 1944 studied in the physics department of The National SouthWest Associated University, China, and obtained a bachelor's degree and a master's degree successively. At that time, Wu Dayou was his teacher. 1945 went to study in the United States, and 1948 received a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Chicago. 1958- 1979 received doctorate degrees in science from Princeton University and six universities including Poland and the United States. 1949- 1955 was a researcher at Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies. 1955- 1966 Professor of Princeton University. Since 1966, he has been Professor Albert Einstein and Director of the Institute of Theoretical Physics of the State University of New York at Stony Brook. 1970- 1976 served as the reviewer of Rockefeller University. 1964 American citizenship. Former chairman of the all-American Chinese Association. 1994, honorary president of China Yellow River Cultural and Economic Development Research Association. 1999 was awarded a first-class honorary doctorate by the State University of New York at Stony Brook. 1May 2, 999 officially retired, and Xi Shi Branch named the Institute of Theoretical Physics "Yang Zhenning Institute of Theoretical Physics" on the same day.

195 1 year, he cooperated with Professor Li Zhengdao and put forward the principle of parity non-conservation of weak interaction in 1956 * *, so he and Li Zhengdao won the 1957 Nobel Prize in physics. This principle completely changed people's understanding of symmetry, which contributed to the concern of physics circles for symmetry in the following decades. 1954, Dr. and Dr. Mills founded the "Young-Mills gauge theory" (this is an abstruse theory to study the force of condensing nuclei). Yang Zhenning also put forward the "Yang-Baxter equation" with Professor Baxter.

He is also a member of the National Academy of Sciences, american physical society, Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Venezuelan Academy of Sciences and Royal Spanish Academy of Sciences. 1986 won the National Science and Technology Award of the United States. In the same year, he was awarded the Medal of Freedom by the Mayor of new york. 1992 was elected as a foreign member of the Royal Society. 1994 won the 1994- 1995 Bauer Prize (250,000 dollars and a 2.25-foot gold medal) from Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, USA.

Since 197 1, I have visited relatives, visited and given lectures in China many times. He was employed as honorary professor of Peking University, Fudan University, China University of Science and Technology, Nankai University, Sun Yat-sen University, Yunnan University of Technology, Shanxi University and Northeast Normal University respectively. Many constructive and important suggestions have been put forward for China's science and technology policy. It has played an important role in promoting scientific and technological exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States, and has also made efforts to help China scholars and overseas students to conduct scientific research and study in the United States. On July 22nd 1995, he was appointed honorary professor of Shanghai University. On June 4th, 1998, Tsinghua University awarded Dr. Yang Zhenning the honorary professor of Tsinghua University.

1994 was elected as the first batch of foreign academicians of China Academy of Sciences in June.

1995 On June 9th, when he visited Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China, he said that he went to Stockholm to receive the Nobel Prize as a citizen of China. At the award ceremony, he said in China Mandarin, "Although I am committed to modern science, I am proud of the China tradition and background I inherited." . Won the 1995 China International Science and Technology Cooperation Award.
