THEORETICAL PHYSICS
THEORETICAL PARTICLE PHYSICS

Characteristics of correlations and fluctuations in multiparticle production processes are analyzed at high energy for hadron-hadron collisions and relativistic heavy ion collisions. Special Attention is paid to the development of multiparticle phenomenology.

THEORETICAL BIOPHYSICS

Response of self sustainable nonlinear dissipative systems is under investigation in the region where the intrinsic endogenous rhythm of a biophysics system may be perturbed for entrainment.

Brief Vita

Professor Shih earned a B. S. in Physics from National Taiwan University in 1961, and the Ph.D. degree from Cornell University in 1967. He worked for two years each as a research associate at Brookhaven National Laboratory and Carnegie Mellon University then jointed the faculty at the University of Tennessee in 1971. During leaves from the University, he was a visiting scientist at Los Alamos National laboratory, Arizona University and Fillips Marburg University, Germany.

University Service

Professor Shih has served on the graduate admission board as an external content specialist since 1995. The board evaluates and interviews graduate applicants to the holistic/teaching unit of the College of Education.
