YU Lu was born in Zhenjiang , Jiangsu . He obtained the Diploma (Hons) in Physics from Kharkov State University , former Soviet Union, in1961.

In the same year he joined the Institute of Physics , Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), Beijing . In 1979 he moved to the Institute of Theoretical
Physics and became a full professor in 1983. He was a visiting scholar at Harvard University and University of California , Santa Barbara in 1979-
1981, and has been a visitor to many leading institutions of higher learning worldwide. In 1986 he was appointed as a research physicist at the
International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste , Italy , where he subsequently became the Head of the Condensed Matter Section. He was
appointed as the Director of the Interdisciplinary Center of Theoretical Studies, CAS in 2002. Now he is a Research Fellow of the Institute of
Physics , CAS. YU Lu was elected Fellow of the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS) in 1990, Member of the Chinese Academy
of Sciences in 1999, Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2005.
 
Research Field

YU Lu's field of research is Condensed Matter Physics. His contributions to the field include: The prediction of a bound state in superconductors

with magnetic impurities (1963); the high-order calculation of critical exponents for continuous phase transitions in e ? (= 4-d , where d is the space
dimension) expansion (1973, with B.L. Hao); the formulation of the topological boundary condition (1981, with S. Kivelson et al. ) and dynamical
relaxation theory of localized excitations (1982, with Z.B. Su) in quasi one-dimensional conductors; the development of the closed-time path Green's
function formalism for equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems (1978-, with G.Z. Zhou, Z.B. Su et al. ); the study of doping effects and gauge field
theory of high-temperature superconductors (1988-, with Z.B. Su et al. ), the studies of low-dimensional quantum systems. He has published (or co-
authored) 180 research papers in internationally established journals.
 
Current research interests

high temperature superconductivity, strongly correlated electron systems, low-dimensional quantum systems, etc.

 
Award
He has won the First Prize in the Progress of Science and Technology, CAS (1987),

The First Prize in Natural Sciences, CAS (1999), the Second National Prize in Natural Sciences (2000),

The ISI Classical Citation Award (2000).
