C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics

George Sterman, director of the C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics at Stony Brook, was cited for his advances in quantum field theory that helped establish our current understanding of strong interactions and which facilitate the analysis of high energy particle experiments.

The NSF describes CAREER as "its most prestigious awards in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars".

The C.N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics is proud to announce that three outstanding physicists will join its faculty in the course of the 2011-2012 academic year.
