Timeline

1940

Shang-keng Ma (September 24, 1940 – November 24, 1983) was a Chinese theoretical physicist, known for his work on the theory of critical phenomena and random systems.

1959

He transferred in 1959 from the National Taiwan University to the University of California, Berkeley.

1962

There he graduated in 1962 with a bachelor's degree in science and in 1966 with a Ph.D. His Ph.D. thesis Correlations of Photons from a Thermal Source was supervised by Kenneth M. Watson.

1966

As a postdoc in 1966, Ma went to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to study with Keith Brueckner.

Ma's outstanding ability earned him a faculty appointment at UCSD in less than a year.

1968

He was at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) from September 1968 to June 1969 and

1970

in the autumn of 1970.

There he worked with Shau-Jin Chang on the infinite-energy limit of Feynman diagrams and with Roger Dashen on the S-matrix formulation of statistical mechanics.

1971

In 1971 he became a tenured faculty member of the UCSD physics department and became a Sloan Research Fellow.

1972

He is known as the co-author with Bertrand Halperin and Pierre Hohenberg of a 1972 paper that "generalized the renormalization group theory to dynamical critical phenomena."

"He visited Cornell University in 1972 where he became involved in development of the renormalization theory of critical phenomena. Gradually, his interest shifted to statistical physics."

1975

Ma is also known as the co-author with Yoseph Imry of a 1975 paper and with Amnon Aharony and Imry of a 1976 paper that established the foundation of the random field Ising model (RFIM)

"In 1975, with Yoseph Imry, he published the seminal paper on the effect of a random magnetic field on ferro-magnetic order. Their model has come to be known as the random field Ising model."

1976

In 1976 Ma was a visiting scientist at Paris-Saclay University and published his paper Renormalization group by Monte Carlo methods, which introduced a technique which "has evolved into a powerful technology that is widely used today for the numerical study of critical phenomena."

1977

In the two academic years 1977–1978 and 1981–1982 he taught in Taiwan at Tsinghua University, where he wrote in Chinese an advanced text on statistical mechanics — the book, published in 1983, "eschews the traditional approach built on the Gibbs ensemble."

1981

"In 1981, Ma formulated the 'coincidence counting' method for the calculation of entropy from the phase space trajectory. He felt strongly that such a dynamical formulation of entropy was crucial for understanding random and other systems exhibiting metastability."

1985

World Scientific published an English translation in 1985.

1986

In 1986 World Scientific also published a memorial volume in honor of Ma.

Upon his death he was survived by his widow and two children.
