If you want to e-mail me click here or just use edward.shuryak@stonybrook.edu ADMINISTRATION: I was appointed Director of Nuclear Theory Center (CNT) in 1993, and 27 years later (9 terms for 3 years as DOE PI) December 1 2020, I retired from this position. Current news about the center one can find at https://stonybrook.edu/CNT RESEARCH PAPERS: I wrote 400+ papers which have in total about 36000 citations. One is in 2000+ category, five are in 1000+ category, other nine in 500+, Hirsh index h=88. See current citation statistic in Google scholar AWARDS: 2018, HERMAN FESHBACH Prize in Theoretical Nucclear Physics, by American Physics Society 2005. Alexander von Humboldt Prize , from Humboldt foundation, Germany 2003 Dirac Medal and Lecture, from University of NSW, Sydney, Australia (see list of all recipients in wikipedia) General standing among colleages: An organization ScholarGPS is ranking individual scientists by productivity, citation and impact. According to their "highly ranked scholars, 2022" I am number 9 in Nuclear Physics, 53 in Plasma, and number 131 in Physics. (whatever it means). Special conferences/celebrations: In October 2018 a conference "Forty years of Quark-Gluon Plasma", selebrating my 70-th birthday, took place in Wuhan, China. see https://indico.cern.ch/event/732540/page/14112-es-symposium (The name of the meeting is related to the fact that the term Quark-Gluon Plasma appeared first in my 1978 paper.) In October 2008 a conference ES-QGP (Especially strong quark-gluon plasma) related to my 60 was held at Stony Brook. I was a coorganizer of meetings of QGP and heavy ion physics since 1970s, too many to mention. Let me mention only series of meetings called CPOD (critical point and onset of deconfinement) of which I was one of founding fathers, so to say, and retired from its advisory commiitte in spring 2024. last years I was coorganising series of meetings on GAUGE TOPOLOGY . The last of them took place in ECR* (Trento Italy) in May 2022. SO, counting with summer seminars, we had three meetings in Simons center, Stony Brook and three in ECT*. During summers of 2020 and 2021 due to pandemic conferences were substituted by "Summer seminar series", see talks and lecture recordings at web page of Simons Center for Geometry and Physics, here . The coorganizers were Massimo D'Elia, Jeff Greensite, Elias Kiritsis, Zohar Komargodsky, Cobi Sonnenschine, Ismail Zahed . previous meetings: ( The Third) ``Gauge topology" workshop I coorganized at ECT* Trento May 28-June 01 2018. the web page is here The second, November 2016, was at ECT* Trento, Italy, here The first was at Simons Center at Stony Brook, see here Books: "Quark-gluon plasma, heavy ion collisions and hadrons" , World scientific 2024, 600p "Nonperturbative Topological Phenomena in QCD and related theories", 2021 Shpringer.

BIO sketch is here: For photos taken at the first gauge toppology workshop click here . videos and photos from 2008 conference ESQGP related to my 60 birthday. Here one can find slides of the talks. Parts of some talks as movies are stored separately, e.g. the opening (which of course had no slides), Johanna Stachel, John Negele 1, John Negele 2, Larry Yaffe, Barbara Jacak, George_Sterman, Volodya_Zelevinsky, Joe Kapusta, Rob Pisarski, Victor Flambaum (with great thanks to all participants, and with a sincere apology to low quality of the movies, with some even missing: my debut as a cameraman was mostly a failure) some recallections about other colleagues: on Gerry Brown birthday , on Mitya Diakonov, on Boris Chirikov (in Russian, .rtf) Pictures of some physicists from Meeting in Duck NC, Nov.2000 , S.T.Belyaev (my Ph.D adviser) Fest, in Phyladelphia 1994 , my first professor Yu.B.Rumer et al (1965) ,
