Yifang WANG is a world renowned experimental particle physicist, currently the director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences(CAS). Wang has been elected member of the CAS, foreign member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and fellow of the third World Academy of Sciences. Prof. Wang successfully led the design and construction of the BESIII detector at the Beijing Electron-Positron Collider (BEPC), and the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, which precisely measured the neutrino mixing angle theta13. He is now leading the JUNO experiment to measure the neutrino mass hierarchy using reactor neutrinos. He proposed the idea of the Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC) as a possible future step for particle physics. For his outstanding contribution to particle physics, he was awarded the Zhou Guangzhao Fundamental Physics Prize, the Ho Leung Ho Lee (HLHL) Foundation Scientific and Technological Progress Award, the W.K.H. Panofsky Prize in Experimental Particle Physics, the Nikkei Asia Prize, the Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics, the Pontecorvo Prize, First prize of National Natural Science Prize and the Future Science Prize, etc. He received two Honorary doctoral degrees from the Suranaree University of Technology in Thailand and the Ruhr-Universit?t Bochum in Germany. He was also awarded the Medal of the Commander of the Republic of Italy.
