Ding Hong
Ding Hong is a prominent Chinese physicist who, after studying in the United States, returned to China in 2009 to take a position at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Originally from China, he had moved to the U.S. in 1990, disillusioned by the Tiananmen Square massacre, and became a U.S. citizen while building a successful academic career, including a tenured position at Boston College. His decision to return to China was influenced by funding cuts in the U.S. research landscape, allowing him to refocus on fundamental scientific work in a more supportive environment.
