National Taiwan University (NTU) announced that Physics Professors Lin Min-Tsung, Kao Ying-Che, and Chiang Cheng-Wei were all elected Fellows of the American Physical Society (APS) this year. This marks the first time in NTU Physics history that three professors have received this honor simultaneously, highlighting the department’s international influence. The APS, founded in 1899, is a leading global physics organization with over 50,000 members, of whom only 0.5% are elected Fellows annually.
Professor Lin Min-Tsung specializes in surface magnetism and magnetic nanostructures. He has served as Vice Chair of the National Science Council and President of the Physical Society of Taiwan, contributing significantly to Taiwan’s physics development and international scientific collaboration. His fundamental research on interactions in low-dimensional and nanoscale magnetic systems earned him this recognition.
Professor Kao Ying-Che, an expert in condensed matter theory and strongly correlated electron systems, was recognized for his numerical studies of emergent phenomena in quantum many-body systems and for fostering collaboration between Asian and U.S. physicists.
Professor Chiang Cheng-Wei, whose research focuses on particle phenomenology, rare decays, CP violation, and physics beyond the Standard Model, was honored for both his scientific contributions and efforts to advance particle physics collaboration and education regionally and internationally.
