Education
[edit]Gary Shiu received his primary and secondary school education at St Joseph's College. He received a bachelor's of science in physics from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1993[2] and a Ph.D. from Cornell University in 1998 under advisor Henry Tye.[3][4]
Career
[edit]He conducted postdoctoral research work at C. N. Yang Institute for Theoretical Physics and subsequently at the University of Pennsylvania before joining the faculty of the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the United States. He was a senior fellow at the Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study[5][6] and the founding director of the Center for Fundamental Physics and concurrently chair professor of physics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in Hong Kong.[7][8]
He has held visiting professorships at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Stanford University,[9] University of Amsterdam, and the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe.[10][11] Shiu has given numerous lectures worldwide, both at a technical level and for the general public, including BEL Lectures,[12] Steve Goldman Lectures in Mathematical Physics, Nico van Kampen Colloquium, Johannes Diderik van der Waals Lectures, Zi-Ping Distinguished Lectures in Theoretical Physics, Colloquium Ehrenfestii, and Kavli Frontiers of Science Symposium,[13] among others.[14] He was an invited speaker of the inaugural International Congress of Basic Science in 2023.[15]
