"Professor Kok Khoo Phua is the Founding Director and Emeritus Professor of the Institute of Advanced Studies (IAS) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Adjunct Professor of Department of Physics both at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and National University of Singapore (NUS). He is the Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd. When he was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2009, the citation read: "For tireless efforts to strengthenscientific research throughout Asia and promote international physics education and scholarly exchanges, and for enriching science and education through the World Scientific Publishing Company he founded." This unique volume on the occasion of his 80th birthday is a compilation of tributes from his friends who have known him for decades along with scientific articles that celebrate his visionary approach to promote science worldwide"--

Colleagues and other scientists honor Singapore physicist Phua's vision and efforts in promoting science research and education worldwide. After a number of personal tributes describing his work and its effects on both research and researchers, articles explore such topics as whether we know how to define energy in general relativity, partition temperature model at Large Hadron Collider energies, masses of weak bosons and dark matter particles, quantum walk as a simulator of quantum radar under noisy environments, and jet gravitational waves.
