SSE Special Colloquium | 理工学院系列研讨会邀请

The School of Science and Engineering (SSE) 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. 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

Violent cosmic events, like the big bang, supernova collapse and binary Neutron Star bNS- collisions create nuclear and quark matter of the highest temperatures, entropies and densities in the cosmos.      

We show that cosmic gravitational wave detectors on earth can yield clear signatures for the Equation of State of this hot and dense QCD- matter, which are compatible with the new data from Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions at IMP's High Intensity Heavy Ion Accelerator Facility and from GSI/FAiR, Darmstadt, STAR at Brookhaven Lab and at CERN.

The Speaker

Horst Stoecker is a professor in Goethe University Frankfurt since 1985 and the Judah Eisenberg Professor Laureatus chair for theoretical physics at the institute for Theoretical physics from 2004. He is also seinior fellow at Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, FIAS.

After graduating from high school in 1971, he studied physics, mathematics, chemistry and philosophy at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main. Following his diploma in 1976, he worked on his Ph.D. dissertation with Walter Greiner and received his doctorate at the Goethe University Frankfurt in 1979. In 1979, he first became a guest researcher at the former Society for Heavy Ion Research in Darmstadt. In 1980 he joined the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory of the University of California, Berkeley, USA, as a DAAD-NATO Fellow. From 1982 to 1985, he was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Michigan State University and the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). In 1985 he accepted a professorship in Theoretical Physics at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, and then he holds the Judah M. Eisenberg Chair - "Professor Laureatus of Theoretical Physics" at the Department of Physics there since 2004. He was vicepresident of Goethe University from 2000 to 2003, during which he also served as the founding director of Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, FIAS, where he has been a board member and senior fellow ever since. He was re-elected vicepresident of Goethe University from 2006-2007. Then from 2007 to 2015 he served both as the director general (CEO) of Europe's largest national lab for heavy ion science -- the GSI Helmholtz Center for heavy ion research, and as the vicepresident for the Helmholtz Gemeinschaft of Germany. During his service time at GSI they founded in 2010 the Facility for antiproton and ion research, FAIR, in Europe, where international research institutions from more than 50 nations worldwide participate including China as well. As the co-founder of the international center for FAIR collaboration, Horst actively collaborate for may years with numerous colleagues worldwide including high profile Chinese universities and laboratoris. Horst also holds several honorary doctorates and was awarded numerous visiting- and honorary professorships worldwide, including China for example in CCNU Wuhan, in University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, and also Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is also elected member of many scientific acaemies like the Academia Europaea, the National Academy for Technology and Science of Germany, the Acaemia Romania, and Honorary Doctor of the Russian Academy of Science. He is among the top 200 highly cited researchers in the global ranking of the Institute for Scientific Information. He published more than 750 scientific publications, his publications have been cited more than 80k times, with a Hirsch indes of above 100.
