Tian Yu Cao Offered Joint Membership in the School of Natural Sciences and the School of Historical Studies at Princeton
Tian Yu Cao has accepted an offer, extended by the Director of the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton), of a joint membership in the School of Natural Sciences and the School of Historical Studies for the academic year 2004/05. These memberships will permit him to complete his historical and conceptual study of quantum chromodynamics, which is an important component of the “standard model” (the model deals with the ultimate ingredients of the physical world and their dynamics) and provides a theoretical underpining for understanding the strong nuclear force. He has also been awarded a Neugebauer Fellowship by the Neugebauer Committee of the School of Historical Study at the Institute for Advanced Study.
