NTU Department of Physics Distinguished Professors Minn-Tsong Lin, Cheng-Wei Chiang, and Ying-Jer Kao elected as Fellows of the American Physical Society.
Setting a historical record for the National Taiwan University (NTU) Department of Physics, three professors—Min-Tsong Lin, Ying-Jer Kao, and Cheng-Wei Chiang—were simultaneously elected as Fellows of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2025, a prestigious honor awarded to no more than 0.5% of the society’s membership annually. This achievement underscores the department’s international research standing, with Professor Lin recognized for his leadership in scientific advocacy and research on low-dimensional magnetic systems, Professor Kao for his advancements in numerical methods for quantum many-body systems and fostering Asia-U.S. collaborations, and Professor Chiang for his contributions to particle phenomenology—specifically rare decays and CP violation—and his dedication to international education. The triple selection serves as a testament to NTU’s robust capabilities in foundational physics and its significant impact within the global scientific community.
