个人简介

David B. Kaplan is a Professor of Physics at the University of Washington and is the Director of the National Institute for Nuclear Theory (INT). He received his BS in Physics from Stanford in 1980, and his PhD from Harvard in 1985, where his thesis adviser was Howard Georgi. Kaplan did his post-doctoral work while in the Harvard Society of Fellows, and then joined the faculty at UC San Diego in 1989, moving to Seattle as a Senior Fellow at the INT in 1994, where he became Director in 2006. Research Interests: Kaplan has worked in various aspects of particle theory, including electroweak baryogenesis, a theory for how the matter/anti-matter asymmetry of the universe could have arisen at an epoch when the thermal energy density of the cooling universe was similar to that achieved in collisions at the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva; the asymmetric dark matter paradigm for why the dark matter density of the universe is not so different from the matter density; and the composite Higgs mechanism for explaining how the recently discovered Higgs boson could arise as a bound state of fermions. In lattice field theory Kaplan helped solve the problem of how to simulate fermions without destroying their chiral symmetry, in effect representing the four-dimensional world as the boundary of a five-dimensional topological insulator. He has also worked on aspects of many-body theory, including effective field theory for low energy nuclear physics, and the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation of strange K-mesons in the heart of neutron stars.

会议简介

A three-week summer school on “Frontiers in Lattice QCD” was held from June 24 - July 12 at Peking University, Beijing. The school contains the major topics of lattice QCD fundamentals, particle- and nuclear-physics frontiers and computational technologies.  The purpose of the school is to educate our future generation for lattice quantum field theory as well as to survey new, powerful computational methods. We invite the world-leading experts to give lectures in our school, and hope to bring a new generation of young theorists into contact with leading experts in these fields and to increase the communication and collaboration among domestic and international research universities and institutes.

Organizer: Center for High Energy Physics, Peking University
