Biography

Biographical Sketch

EDUCATION:

1943-44 Zhejiang University, Guizhou, China (moved from Zhejiang to Guizhou because of the war)

1945 Southwest Associated University, Kunming, China
(consisting of Peking and Tsinghua Universities from Beijing and Nankai University from Tianjin)

1946-49 University of Chicago; Ph.D., 1950

RESEARCH:

Jarlskog Invariants and Masses of Quarks and Leptons: With Professor R. Friedberg, I proposed a new symmetry relation between the time-reversal violating parameters (Jarlskog Invariants) in the CKM and neutrino mapping matrices with the light masses of quarks and leptons. The relation agrees with the known data on the CKM matrix, and there is an international experimental collaborative effort to test the corresponding formula for the neutrino mapping matrix.

Explicit Convergent Iterative Solutions of the Schroedinger Equation: Together with Professor R. Friedberg and Professor W. Q. Zhao (CCAST), I have developed a new rapidly convergent iterative procedure to derive the ground state and low-lying excited states for a class of Schoedinger Equation. These include the solutions for a sombrero-shaped potential in any space dimension and arbitrary angular momentum.

Strongly Interactive Quark Gluon Plasma (SQGP) and Dark Energy: In two recent papers, I discussed a possible link between the newly discovered strongly interactive quark gluon plasma from the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the dark energy in our universe.
