Kenneth Young (楊綱凱) is a Professor of Physics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). He obtained his BSc in Physics in 1969, and his PhD in Physics and Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology, USA. He took a position at CUHK in 1973, and embarked on a highly regarded career as a theoretical physicist.〔(Kenneth YOUNG Professor of Physics )〕 He has produced extensive research in elementary particles, field theory, high energy phenomenology and dissipative systems.〔(Professor Kenneth Young )〕 Young has contributed greatly to the development of higher education in Hong Kong, administering grants, educational program development, and worked to develop both Chinese and international professional associations by assuming various responsibilities during their development. In the later stages of his career Young has moved away from administration roles in universities, and toward direct teaching of students. He reflects that "one has to have passion in one’s subject. You cannot disguise it and it would help tremendously if the students could feel and see you have it in you. It makes teaching all the more effective." 〔(Prof. Kenneth Young on College, Reading and Teaching )〕 He is also a proponent of contextual teaching in physics.〔(The contextual approach to teaching )〕 ==Awards and honours== * Founding Master-Designate of CW Chu College 〔(The Chinese University of Hong Kong Appoints Four College Heads and Masters-Designate )〕 * Pro-Vice-Chancellor, CUHK * Trustee of the Croucher Foundation 〔(The Quest of Noel Croucher, Hong Kong’s Quiet Philanthropist )〕 * Fellow of the American Physical Society * Vice-Chancellor’s Exemplary Teaching Award, CUHK * Chairman of the Hong Kong Research Grants Council * Member of the International Eurasian Academy of Sciences * Member of the University Grants Committee, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region * Secretary and then Vice-President of the Association of Asia Pacific Physical Societies * Vice Chairman of the Board of Adjudicators for the Shaw Prize〔(Board of Adjudicators )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kenneth Young」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
