The William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute is a research institute in the University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering. FTPI was largely the work of physics Professor Emeritus, Stephen Gasiorowicz and University alumnus and Twin-Cities real-estate developer William I. Fine.〔(UMN, CSE Inventing Tomorrow, Spring/Summer 2008, Vol. 32, 2., P.32-33 )〕 The Institute officially came into existence in January 1987.〔(Symmetry Magazine, August 2007 )〕 FTPI faculty consists of seven permanent members: Alex Kamenev, Keith Olive, Mikhail Shifman, Boris Shklovskii, Arkady Vainshtein, Mikhail Voloshin, and Andrey V. Chubukov as well as postdoctoral and graduate students.〔(William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute People )〕 The William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute has on Oversight Committee consisting of 8 members.〔(William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute People OSC )〕 The Oversight Committee is essentially a board of directors that make decisions concerning the staffing and budgeting of the Institute.〔(Physics Today, February 1991 )〕 == Outreach == The Misel Family Lecture Series The Irving and Edythe Misel Family Lecture Series, hosted by FTPI, invites physicists from around the world to the University of Minnesota to discuss physics with the general public. It is funded by a generous gift from the Edythe and Irving Misel family. The list of the Misel Lecturers to date is: 2006: Frank Wilczek (2004 Nobel Prize in Physics), 2007: Leo Kadanoff (1980 Wolf Prize), 2008: Jim Peebles (1982 Heineman Prize), 2009: Helen Quinn (2000 Dirac Medal), 2010: N. David Mermin (2010 Majorana Prize), 2011: Roger Blandford (1998 Heineman Prize), 2012: John Ellis (2005 Dirac Medal), 2013: Eric Cornell (2001 Nobel Prize in Physics), 2014: Andrei Linde (2012 Fundamental Physics Prize). 〔(William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute Misel )〕 Visitor Program FTPI has a worldwide reach. The Institute has hosted over 800 individual researchers, from institutions in more than 18 different countries, for working visits of one day to six months.〔(UMN, CSE Inventing Tomorrow, Spring/Summer 2008, Vol. 32, 2., P.32-33 )〕 Workshops FTPI hosts up to three workshops per year for physicists from around the world.〔(William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute Workshops )〕 This includes the 2013 CAQCD meeting which was special because it was the tenth meeting in the series. The proceedings of the previous conferences – they are held biannually – reveal the developments of QCD and related theories from the early 1990s.〔(CERN Courier, 2013 )〕 As well as a workshop in October 2000 celebrating 30 years of supersymmetry.〔(CERN Courier, 2001 )〕 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「William I.
