biography

Rho first studied politics at Seoul National University and then initially wanted to study medicine at Clark University , but then switched to chemistry with a bachelor's degree in 1960. Inspired by lectures by Ben Mottelson and Aage Bohr , he switched to nuclear physics and entered the University of 1965 California, Berkeley , PhD. As a post-doctoral student , he attended the French nuclear research center in Saclay (CEA Saclay). There he met his future wife, a German, and stayed the rest of his career in Saclay, where he became a professor. He became a senior scientist there in 1965 (Expert Senior du CEA) and retired in 2002, but remained a scientific advisor.

In 1966/67 he was visiting assistant professor at the University of Virginia and in 1969/70 and 1975 visiting scientist at CERN . He was visiting professor four times at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNY) with Gerald Brown (1973/74, 1978/79, 1982/83, 1988/89), several times (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 / 03) Visiting professor at Korea Institute for Advanced Study and in 2001 at Seoul National University. In 1972 he was visiting professor in Tokyo and in 1988 at Nagoya University. From 2009 he is also a professor at Hanyang University in South Korea (where he was visiting professor in 2004).

Rho dealt with sub-nuclear degrees of freedom and chiral symmetries and field theories in nuclear physics. In 1979, with Gerald Brown, he developed the chiral bag model of hadrons , in which, as is customary in bag models, the quarks are enclosed in a finite volume and can move freely in it, but at the same time the chiral symmetry is achieved through coupling to a pion cloud on the surface ( approximately) is obtained. In 1991 he introduced Brown- Brown-Rho scaling , which describes the disappearance of the hadron masses in very dense and hot environments (neutron stars, early universe). It was tested in heavy ion experiments at CERN ( dilepton production).

In 1985 he received the Paul Langevin Prize and in 1995 the Gay Lussac Humboldt Prize . He was the Humboldt Prize Professor at the Society for Heavy Ion Research (GSI) in Darmstadt (1995, 1997) and the Technical University of Munich (1996). In 1999 he received the Korean Academy of Sciences Prize and in 1997 the National Medal for Civil Merit of the President of the Republic of South Korea. In 2002 he received the Ho Am Prize (from Samsung, Korea) and in 2003 he received an honorary doctorate from Clark University.

He is a member of the Korean Academy of Sciences, the New York Academy of Sciences and was a Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science in 1972 and 1988.

Since 1993 he has been editor of the International Journal of Modern Physics.

Personal

He is married and has a son.
