A South Korean woman has been appointed to jointly head a world renowned multinational physics research group.
The Ministry of Science and Technology said Sunday that Professor Kim Young-kee of the University of Chicago's physics department will jointly lead the Collider Detector project at Fermilab (CDF), which involves Fermilab Tevatron, the world's highest energy accelerator, and the collision of protons with antiprotons.
CDF is the world's largest energy physics experiment, with the international collaboration of over 800 physicists from 15 countries including South Korea, the United States, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Russia and Japan.
