Chien-Shi ung Wu was a Chinese-American nuclear physicist who has been recognised as “ the First Lady of Physics ” and “ Queen of Nuclear Research ".Her research contributions include work on the Manhattan Project and the Wu experiment.
Born in a small town near Shanghai,China,on May 31,1912,Chien-Shi ung Wu was thee only daughter of three children.Education was important to the Wu family,which influenced young Wu the most.Her mother,a teacher,and her father,an engineer,encouraged her to pursue science and mathematics from an early age.She began her study in one of the first schools founded by her father,and then went to Su zhou School. Later she attended Shanghai Gong Xue public school for one year.In 1930,Wu entered Nanjing University,where she first pursued mathematics but quickly switched her major to physics,inspired by a famous female scientist,Marie Curie.She gra duat ted with top honours at the head of her class with a BS degree in 1934.
After graduation, she went to the University of California. There she met Professor Ernest Lawrence,a later Nobel Prize winner.Wu's graduate work focused on a highly desirable topic of that age:uranium fission(铀裂变)products.After completing her PhD in 1940,Wu accepted an offer from Princeton University as the first female teacher.In 1944,she joined the Manhattan Project at Columbia
University.
