SSE Weekly Colloquium | 理工学院系列研讨会邀请

The School of Science and Engineering is committed to creating a platform for students and faculty members to exchange ideas and explore cutting-edge research developments in various fields of science and engineering. Starting from 2021 fall, SSE will organize the "Weekly Colloquium" series of seminars every Friday from 1:30 to 2:30 pm. Each week, SSE will invite our faculty members and distinguished guest speakers from outside the University to conduct academic seminars.  

All students and faculty members are invited to join the weekly colloquium!

Abstract

More than 99% of the mass in our visible universe is made up of protons and neutrons, collectively known as nucleons. Ever since they were discovered in laboratories nearly a century ago, their fundamental properties have been continuously explored both experimentally and theoretically. Despite that, we are still far from having a complete 3D picture of the nucleons. In this colloquium, I will review some basic concepts in describing the structure of the nucleons, in particular of the proton due to its stability, and discuss recent progress that helps us to build up the 3D image of the proton.

The Speaker

Dr. Jianhui Zhang is an associate professor at the School of Science and Engineering, CUHK Shenzhen. He obtained his bachelor degree from University of Science and Technology of China, master degree from University of Heidelberg, and PhD from Technical University of Munich. His research is focused on the quantum field theory of strong interactions, called Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), and its application to phenomenology. He is also interested in developing new techniques for ab initio QCD calculations and collider phenomenology. His work on proton structure with collaborators won the First Prize of Natural Science Award of the Ministry of Education, China in 2016. He is also in the "World's Top 2% Scientists" list in 2021 by Stanford University.
