Relativistic Quantum Invariance

Professor Chueng-Ryong Ji at Department of Physics, North Carolina State University (NCSU), joined the faculty in 1987 and served as the director of the Graduate Program for 2013-2015. He is a fellow and outstanding referee of American Physical Society (APS) and serves as the chair of the International Light Cone Advisory Committee. His recent research work with the Jefferson Lab Angular Momentum (JAM) collaborators including his graduate student published in Phys. Rev. Lett.121,152001(2018) “First Monte Carlo Global QCD Analysis of Pion Parton Distributions” was highlighted with a short summary (Synopsis) on the APS website as well as the IOP’s “Physics World.” Professor Ji pioneered the idea of connecting the instant form dynamics and the light-front dynamics and applied this idea in solving relativistic bound state and scattering problems. His seminal work with his graduate students and visiting scholar “Interpolating quantum electrodynamics between instant and front forms” was published in Phys. Rev. D98, 036017(2018). Professor Ji wrote the book entitled “Pedestrian Approach to Particle Physics” as the first monograph published by the Asia Pacific Center for Theoretical Physics in 2007. Before he joined the faculty at NCSU, he was a visiting scholar at the theory group of the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) for 1982-84, a postdoctoral fellow at Department of Physics, Stanford University, for 1984-86, and a research associate at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York in for 1986-97. Professor Ji received his Ph.D. in 1982 from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology and his Bachelor’s degree with Honor in 1976 from Seoul National University.
