Tsung-Dal Lee (born November 25, 1926), born in Shanghai, China, and originally from Suzhou, Jiangsu, is an outstanding Chinese physicist who co-proposed the theory of non-conservation of universal symmetry with Yang Chenning, for which he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957.
His research interests include particle physics theory, atomic nucleus theory, and statistical physics, and he has made important contributions to the development of physics.
Curriculum vitae:
From 1943 to 1944, he studied physics at Zhejiang University (then the first year was in Yongxing, Guizhou).
In 1944, he was suspended from school due to injuries sustained in a rollover car.
In 1945, he transferred to the Department of Physics of Southwest Associated University in Kunming.
In 1946, he was recommended by his teacher Wu Dayou and won a national scholarship to go to the United States for further study and entered the graduate school of the University of Chicago.
He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in June 1950.
From 1950 to 1953, he worked as a researcher at the University of Chicago, the University of California, Berkeley, and the Princeton Institute.
From 1953 to 1960, he served as an assistant professor, associate professor, and professor at Columbia University.
From 1960 to 1963, he was a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and a professor at Columbia University.
In 1964, he was elected Enrico Fermi Professor of Physics at Columbia University.
Since 1983, he has been a university professor at Columbia University.
In 1984, he was appointed as an honorary professor at Peking University.
He is currently the director of the Beijing Modern Physics Research Center and the director of the High Energy Physics Research Center of Peking University.
Work Experience:
Tsung-Dao Lee has extensive research and teaching experience in the field of physics.
He has conducted in-depth research at the University of Chicago, the University of California, Berkeley, the Princeton Research Institute, and has served as a professor at Columbia University and the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, where he has trained many physicists.
Major Achievements:
The "Lie model" is proposed, which plays an important role in the study of the basic problems of quantum field theory.
Together with Yang Chenning, he proposed the thesis that the universe is not conserved in weak interactions, and this discovery has had a profound impact on physics.
He has made pioneering contributions to the problem of non-conservation under the joint transformation of positive and negative particles and spatial reflection, the quantum theory of solitons, the concept of anomalous nuclear states, and the gauge theory of random lattices.
Awards:
He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957.
He was awarded the Albert Einstein Prize in Science in 1957.
In 1969 he obtained a G. from the National Academy of FranceBude Medal.
In 1979, he was awarded the Galileo Medal.
In 1986, he was awarded the highest Italian knight's order.
In 1995, he won the China International Science and Technology Cooperation Award.
Received the New York City Science Award in 1997.
In 1999, he won the China Friendship Award.
In 2007, he was awarded the Rising Sun Medal of Japan.
Social Appointments:
Member of the Academic Committee of the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Academician of the National Academy of Sciences.
Professor and Chair Professor of Physics, Columbia University.
Honorary Professor, Peking University.
Director of Beijing Modern Physics Research Center.
Director of the Center for High Energy Physics, Peking University.
Character Influence:
Lee Tsung-dao has not only made outstanding achievements in scientific research, but also made great contributions to China's science education. He advocated the establishment of a national natural science system, promoted Sino-US cooperation in high-energy physics, and promoted the Beijing Spectrometer (BES) and the Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment International Cooperation Group, which provided overall guidance for China to achieve breakthroughs in the world's high-energy physics frontier.
He also initiated and participated in the Sino-US Joint Physics Graduate Program (CUSPEA), which has cultivated a group of leading scholars and social leaders in China.
