Defu Hou-Institute of Particle Physics

Introduction

Professor Hou Defu is currently a professor at Central China Normal University. His primary research focuses on finite-temperature quantum field theory and its applications, as well as AdS/CFT and its applications. He has made significant contributions in areas such as hot and dense QCD, transport coefficients, quark matter theory, color superconductivity, compact stars, AdS/CFT and strongly coupled QGP, and CME/CVE. He has published over 140 academic papers , including three in Physical Review Letters.He has been invited to deliver plenary talks at several major international conferences.He has led the completion of several National Natural Science Foundation General Projects, directed two Key Projects of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and participated in major projects of the National Natural Science Foundation and the Ministry of Science and Technology's "973" Program.
