嘉宾简介：
Hyuk Yu is currently the Walter H. Stockmayer Professor Emeritus and the Eastman Kodak Professor Emeritus of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who joined the Department in 1967, coming from then National Bureau of Standards (NBS), now called NIST. He received B.S. in chemical engineering from Seoul National University in S. Korea in 1955, M.S. in organic chemistry from University of Southern California and his Ph. D. in physical chemistry from Princeton in 1962. After a postdoctoral stint at Dartmouth College with the late Prof. Walter H. Stockmayer, he joined the Polymers Division of NBS, stayed there for 4 years before moving to Madison. During his active teaching/research career at Wisconsin in 1967-2004, he supervised about 50 Ph.D. students, some jointly with colleagues, and sponsored about 25 postdoctoral research associates and visiting professors. His research specialty is in the area of dynamics of polymers in solution, bulk and gels, and on interfaces. He has been recognized for the contributions in these areas, with the John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship in 1984, the Alexander von Humboldt Research Award in 1992, the Polymer Physics Prize of American Physical Society in 1994, the Ho-Am Basic Science Prize of Ho-Am/Samsung Foundation of S. Korea in 1997, the Distinguished Services to Polymer Science Award (Kobunshi Koseki Sho) of the Society of Polymer Science-Japan in 1997, Langmuir Lecture Prize of the Division of Colloid & Surface Chemistry of American Chemical Society in 1999, and the Industry-University Collaboration Award of the LG Corporation of S. Korea in 2003. Since his formal retirement on 2004, he has been active in technical consulting for chemical industry and government sponsored laboratories in S. Korea, and teaching at various venues such as Pohang University of Science & Technology in S. Korea, LSU in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, US, Tokyo Institute of Technology and Kyushu University in Japan, and currently at IAS of the Shenzhen University in China.
报告摘要：
The world has changed. Chemistry as an academic discipline too has transformed greatly over the past 70 years. It is a most exciting time today for the profession of chemistry & related fields. This is to share with the young scientists and engineers some valuable lessons I have learned in the process of engaging in and thriving with the profession. The talk consists of a brief review of my career, and the perspectives acquired through the professorial life of 40 years at Wisconsin. It will include my personal view of where China stands in science and technology from a world-wide perspective. Finally, I will offer an advice for how to confront the commonly perceived uncertain future for the young scientists of 21stcentury.
