Min Naiben (; 9 August 1935 – 16 September 2018), also known as Nai-Ben Ming,^[1] was a Chinese materials scientist, physicist, and politician.^{[2] [3]} He was a Standing Committee member of the 9th Central Committee of the Jiusan Society and vice-president of the 10th and 11th Central Committee of the Jiusan Society.

Biography

Min was born in Rugao, Jiangsu, on August 9, 1935. After graduating from Shanghai Advanced Mechanical Vocational School (now University of Shanghai for Science and Technology) in 1954, he studied and then taught at Nanjing University. In 1982 he was hired as an associate visiting professor at the University of Utah. In 1986 he became a guest professor at Tohoku University. In 1986, Min was appointed as the group leader of Physics Group of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, a position in which he remained until 1992. In 1990–1991 he taught as a guest professor at the University of Alabama. He joined the Jiusan Society in 1995. He was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1991 and a fellow of The World Academy of Sciences in 2001.^[4]

On September 16, 2018, he died of an illness in Nanjing, Jiangsu.^[5]
