About Prof. Joseph Polchinski:

Professor of Physics, Department of Physics, UCSB, Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics
Member of National Academy of Sciences
Dirac Medalist

Polchinski is the author of a two-volume text on string theory, which is already a classic in the field. Polchinski's discovery of D-branes and their properties is, according to the Academy citation, "one of the most important insights in 30 years of work on string theory."
Polchinski教授撰写的“弦理论”一书是该领域的经典著作。他是“D-膜”的发现者，这一发现被认为是在弦理论领域近三十年来最重要的见解之一。
