Prof Gang Su is now the distinguished professor of physics in University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS).
He earned his Ph.D. degree in Lanzhou University, China in 1991. After doing two-year postdoc research in UCAS, he joined in UCAS as an associate professor and became a full professor since 1997. During 1993-1999, he worked as a CEEC research fellow in State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA, an Alexander von Humboldt research fellow in Köln University, Germany, and a JSPS research fellow in Tokyo University of Science, Japan. From 2001 to 2008, he was appointed as executive dean of College of Physical Sciences, assistant president, provost and vice-president of UCAS.
His primary research fields include theoretical condensed matter physics, statistical physics, and computational materials science, with particular emphasis on strongly correlated systems, quantum magnetism, molecular magnetism, superconductivity, superfluidity, spintronics, mesoscopic physics, exotic statistical physics, computational materials physics, clean energy, quantum Monte Carlo, various numerical renormalization group (DMRG, TMRG, TRG, LTRG, and so on) methods, quantum intelligence, etc. He is an author of more than 230 papers published in refereed journals and books. Since 1993, his research works have been supported by the NSFC, MOST, and CAS. He got a number of honors such as China National Natural Sciences Award, China MOE Natural Sciences Award, CAIA Award, CAS Excellent Supervisors, etc.
