     On the afternoon of April 18th, “Academician visiting campus” held by Department of student affairs of Graduate School and School of Science was held in Science Hall of BJTU. H.Eugene Stanley, Member of National Academy of Sciences, Foreign Member of Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Professor at Boston University and Financial physics founder, gave a lecture titled “Novel Statistical Physics Approaches to Economic Systems”.
     Vice President Liu Jun met with Dr. Stanley prior to the speech, and made a brief introduction about the university in terms of history, disciplines, international exchanges, etc. He expected a further cooperation in teacher exchange, disciplinary development and research cooperation of statistical physics interdisciplinary science between BJTU and Boston University. Ms Qu Xiaoting, Deputy Dean of the Graduate School, Mr. Feng Qibo, Dean of School of Science, Mr. Xiu Naihua, Vice Dean of School of Science also attended the meeting.
    In his lecture, Stanley intensively introduced how to apply the theories and methods of physics in financial phenomenon study; he analyzed the empirical law of financial volatility and proposed to explain its origin by statistical mechanics models, And introduces some methods and experience for scientific research. After the lecture, Stanley also answered the questions about “stock market scale-free behavior as well as the influence of subjective buying and selling behavior by clients on stock market” raised by the student audience.
    The lecture of Stanley was so humorous and with creative thinking, and caused bursts of applause. Prof. Wang Jun from the School of Science host the lecture, and 200 teachers and students attended the lecture.
Introduction of H.Eugene Stanley
H. Eugene Stanley was awarded a Ph.D. in physics from Harvard University in 1967. Now, he is Elected Member of National Academy of Sciences, Elected Foreign Member of Brazilian Academy of Sciences, University Professor at Boston UniversityWilliam Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor, Professor of Physics, Professor of Chemistry, Professor of Biomedical Engineering, Professor of Physiology (School of Medicine), and Director of Center for Polymer Studies in Boston University.
Professor Stanley has made seminal contributions to statistical physics and is one of the pioneers of interdisciplinary science. His current research focuses on understanding the anomalous behavior of liquid water.
        His Hirsch index is h = 120. Two of his papers were reproduced in The Physical Review, The First Hundred Years: A Selection of Seminal Papers and Commentaries.
