313 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine (IMP) in Lanzhou, China, and since 2000, a Senior Research Associate in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University and a visiting scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Professor Luo served as the Vice Director and then Director of the Institute of Modern Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) from 1991 to 1999. He was also the Deputy Director of the National Laboratory of Heavy Ion Accelerator of Lanzhou. Sharing his wealth of knowledge, he was a visiting scholar at the Southern National Laboratory of INFN in Italy from 1982 to 1984, and in 1987, a visiting scholar at the Daresbury National Laboratory in England, having made achievements in the frontier of nuclear super- deformations at high-spin. Since 1992, he has been an invited speaker at 11 international conferences and symposia. Professor Luo led a research group in IMP from 1987 to 2000 that had discovered over 20 new nuclei in nuclear regions of interest. Since 2000, he has been highly involved in the challenging and productive frontier of nuclear structure of new neutron-rich nuclei. He has authored and contributed to more than 100 publications in professional journals. He was the recipient of the 1994 First Class Award for Natural Sciences and the 1999 First Class Award for Achievements in Sciences and Technology from CAS. He was also awarded the China 1999 Second Class National Prize for Natural Sciences. In 1995, he was recognized as an Outstanding Scientist of CAS and an Excellent Expert of Gansu Province. Professor Luo maintained affiliation with the Chinese Nuclear Physics Society, where he served as a member, President and Vice President. He has served as member of International Advisory Committees of nine international conferences and was an associate editor of the High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics journal. P rofessor Yixiao Luo has been a graduate of the Department of Modern Physics of the University of Science and Technology of China since 1967. He then went on to create a budding career in the nuclear sciences across Asia, Europe and America.
