With the generous support of the College Endowment Fund, the College will organise the 2026-2027 United College Distinguished Visiting Scholars Scheme from 20 to 24 October 2026.
The College has invited Professor Jun YE, who serves as Fellow of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States, and Fellow of Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA) and Professor Adjoint at the Department of Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder, as the Distinguished Visiting Scholar in 2026-2027.
Professor Ye is internationally recognised as a leading figure in atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics. His pioneering work has significantly advanced modern precision measurement. His honours include the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, the Micius Quantum Prize, the Niels Bohr Institute Medal of Honour, the American Physical Society (APS)’s Norman F. Ramsey Prize, and the IEEE I. I. Rabi Award. In addition, he has been elected a Fellow of the Optical Society of America (OSA) and the American Physical Society (APS).
