Gary Shiu (Chinese: Chinese: 蕭文禮) is a Chinese-American theoretical physicist who is a professor of physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research spans cosmology, particle physics, and string theory. He has made significant contributions to both fundamental and phenomenological aspects of string theory. He is well known for his work in constructing models of particle physics and cosmology from string theory, and in elucidating experimental and observational consequences of fundamental physics. He brought string theory research to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and was involved in the founding of the Theoretical and Computational Cosmology Group and the AI ∩ Universe Initiative.[1]

Education

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

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]
