Thomas Kuo
Thomas Tzu Szu Kuo (born July 21, 1931 in Beijing , Republic of China ) is an American theoretical nuclear physicist of Chinese origin.
Kuo studied at the Naval College of Engineering in Taiwan with a bachelor's degree in 1954 and at Tsing Hua University with a master's degree in 1959. He then went to the University of Pittsburgh , where he received his doctorate in physics in 1964. As a post-graduate student , he was an instructor and later an assistant professor at Princeton University . In 1968/69 he was a visiting scientist at the Argonne National Laboratory . In 1968 he became Associate Professor and in 1972 Professor at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (SUNY).
In the 1960s, together with Gerald Brown, Kuo was a pioneer in the development of effective interactions for nucleons in nuclei, based on the nucleon-nucleon interaction in scattering experiments. He pursued research in this area in the following decades, contributed to the improvement of the many-body methods used (e.g. G-matrix with folded diagram formalism, effective low-energy potential with renormalization group techniques) and performed shell model calculations with realistic effective potentials.
In 1974/5, 1978 and 1983 he was Nordita visiting professor at the University of Oslo . In 1979 he was a visiting scientist at the nuclear research center in Jülich and since the 1980s a visiting scientist at various Chinese universities (honorary professorship at Jilin and Fudan universities).
In 1977 he received a US Senior Scientist Award from the Humboldt Foundation. He is a fellow of the American Physical Society .
He has been married since 1962 and has two children.
