Career History
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 theInternational 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 Interests
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.
Research Experience In the theory of superconductivity, phase transitions and renormalization group, non-equilibrium statistical physics approach, the theory of one-dimensional organic conductors, low-dimensional quantum systems, and other areas a lot of research work, published 180 academic papers. Theoretically predicted that superconductors containing paramagnetic impurities present in bound state, promoting the effects of magnetic impurities on superconductors, theoretical and experimental research. Green's function in closed-advocacy research, given the description of equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical physics, a unified theoretical framework. Made conductive polymer in a one-dimensional soliton-type elementary excitation system should meet the topological boundary conditions. Collaboration with Hao Bailin, start with a skeleton diagram method to calculate the critical index of continuous phase transition, quasi to the small parameter ε (ε = 4-d, d is the space dimension) of the third order; cooperation with SU Bing, Huang Kun of the development of lattice relaxation theory to study the quasi-one-dimensional conductor in the local elementary excitation of the dynamics of sexual and physical effects; self-consistent method with the hole in the antiferromagnetic background of the movement; research and predicted resistance very near the transition temperature great value; gauge field theory with a theory of high-temperature superconductors. Chinese Academy of results by the third prize in 1980, 1987, by Chinese Academy of Science and Technology Progress Award, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1999 was the first prize in 2000 by the National Natural Science Award in 2000 by ISI Citation Classic Award, 2007 was awarded the National Science and Technology Progress Award, received the 2007 American Physical Society (AIP) John T Tate Physics International Leadership Award.
