Patrick Meade Elected APS Fellow

E-mail Print PDF

YITP faculty member Patrick Meade has been named a 2024 Fellow of the  American Physical Society.   This honor is extended to a small number of Society members annually for distinguished contributions to research and the national scientific community.   Patrick's citation recognizes his "pioneering research and leadership in particle theory and phenomenology, including signatures of gauge-mediated supersymmetry, top partners, long-lived particles, Higgs sectors, phase transitions of the early universe, and the science capabilities of proposed facilities."   Patrick arrived in Stony Brook in 2009, and much of Patrick's work since then has been with students and postdocs here at the Institute.   See here for the university's announcement.

2024 C.N. Yang Colloquium

E-mail Print PDF

2003 Nobel Laureate David Gross presented the 2024 Colloquium, the third in this annual series. In a wide-ranging review of the discovery and development of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), a cornerstone of the Standard Model of fundamental matter and forces. In a spirited presentation, Prof. Gross gave students, postdocs and faculty alike a first-hand perspective of the ideas and experiments that led to the threshold of the discovery of asymptotic freedom, the signature property of nonabelian gauge theories like QCD, and to the consequences that have flowed from that discovery.   The colloquium was a standing-room only affair, capping a day of conversations, including a lunch with graduate students.

Yichul Choi received a 2024 President's Award for Distinguished Doctoral Students in recognition of "outstanding merit" for his dissertation research, Generalized Symmetries in Quantum Field Theory and Particle Physics. His doctoral research was supervised by Shu-Heng Shao and Zohar Komorgadski.  The concept of generalized symmetries has a special resonance at the YITP, named for its founding director, the originator of the application of nonabelian symmetries to quantum field theory.   Yichul has joined the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton as a Roger Dashen Member.  Other YITP winners of Presidential Awards include Connor Behan (2019), Wolfger Peelars (2016), Mao Zeng (2016), Matt von Hippel (2014), Abhijit Gadde (2012), Leandro Almeida (2010) and Ilmo Sung (2010), Carola Berger (2003), Shu-Chiuan Chang, (2002),  Gianluca Oderda (1999), Shan-Ho Tsai (1998) and Alexander Kusenko (1994).

Waltruat Knop won the John Marburger III Fellowship in Science and Engineering and Mathematics, named for Stony Brook's former president and Director of Brookhaven Laboratory, to continue her projects with advisor Leonardo Rastelli, with new results bridging the gap between quantum fields and string theories.
