Nobel Laureate in Physics, 1976 Samuel C.C. Ting was born in 1936 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where his parents were attending university. A few months later his family returned to China, where he attended elementary and secondary school. In 1956, he returned to the United States to attend the University of Michigan as an engineering student, but he soon transferred his major to physics. In 1959, he received his Bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics, and in 1962 received his Ph.D. in physics. The following year he was granted a Ford Foundation Fellowship to work at the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva. In 1964, he returned to the United States to become an instructor at Columbia University in New York, leaving the post in 1966 to become the leader of an experimental group at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron in Hamburg (DESY). In 1969, he was appointed Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, a position which he currently holds. Ting's research has centred on experimental particle physics, quantum electrodynamics and the interaction of photons with matter. His most important work includes: demonstrating that electrons, muons and tau mesons are point-like particles and measuring their radius; demonstrating the similarity between photons and vector mesons; the systematic study of gluon physics (the particles that ensure the aggregation of the components of the nucleus); and the precision measurement of muon charge asymmetry, demonstrating for the first time the validity of the Standard Electroweak Model. In 1976, he received the Nobel Prize for Physics (with Burton Richter) for the discovery of the heavy particle produced by the electron-positron collision, which led to the completion of the quark model. In the same year, he was awarded the E.O. Lawrence Medal by the US Department of Energy. He is a member of numerous international science associations, including the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the United States National Academy of Sciences, the Academia Sinica of the Republic of China, the Pakistani Academy of Sciences and the Russian Academy of Sciences.
