Benjamin Lee Professorship
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.

Hirosi Ooguri (Fred Kavli Professor, Director of Walter Burke Institute for Theoretical Physics, California Institute of Technology; Director of Kavli IPMU, the University of Tokyo)
Professor Hirosi Ooguri receives the 2021 Benjamin Lee Professorship Award of the Asian-Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics (APCTP). Professor Ooguri has made fundamental contributions to superstring theory, quantum black holes, supersymmetric gauge theories, and related mathematical physics. The awarding ceremony will be held at the KPS fall meeting in October 2021. |
