gatess

Position

John S. Toll Professor & Director of Center for String & Particle Theory,
Department of Physics,
University of Maryland.

Thèmes de recherche

His research interest centers on investigations of the mathematical properties and realizations of supersymmetry in quantum and classical theories of particles, fields and strings. He is co-author of one book, 12 book chapters and well over one hundred research papers.

Prix et récompenses

1994 Edward A. Bouchet Award "For his contributions to theoretical high-energy physics. He exemplifies all the qualities required for the APS Visiting Minority Lectureship Award. He has published widely and received international recognition for his research on superstrings and supersymmetry. Professor Gates is known for his skill at communicating the ideas at the frontier of particle physics to a general audience. He has served on many advisory panels, where his wisdom and intelligence are greatly appreciated. As an African-American, he has done much to help attract and retain greater numbers of qualified minorities in science and engineering careers. "

He is a member, charter fellow and past president of the National Society of Black Physicists (NSBP). He is also a member of Sigma Xi and an APS Fellow (1995).
