Benjamin Lee Professorship
한국의 대표 이론물리학자인 고(故) 이휘소(Benjamin Lee) 박사의 학술업적을 기념하고, 아태 지역 물리학계의 발전을 위하여 국내외 저명학자를 석좌 방문교수로 초빙하여 공동연구를 수행하는 프로그램입니다. 석좌 방문교수의 센터 방문 기간 동안, 집중 세미나 및 강의, 대중 강연 등의 프로그램이 진행될 예정이며, 관련 분야 교수 및 연구원, 학생들의 방문을 통한 공동연구의 기회를 제공합니다.
Benjamin Lee distinguished professorship is created in honor of Korea's foremost theoretical physicist, late Benjamin Lee, who had a distinguished career in particle physics theory. The program is intended to invite a theoretical physicist of international prominence to stay at APCTP for an extended period. The visit is expected to provide opportunities for the domestic scientists and graduate students to interact with an world-caliber theoretical physicist in their fields of study. The Benjamin Lee professor may give lecture sessions and/or organize small workshops built around the theme of his/her research during the stay.
