Hiroshi Suura was a Japanese theoretical physicist, specializing in particle physics.
Education and career
Suura graduated in 1947 with a B.S. from the University of Tokyo and in 1954 with a Ph.D. in physics from Hiroshima University. From September 1955 to June 1956 he did research at the Institute for Advanced Study. From 1960 to 1965 he was a professor at Nihon University. From 1965 until his retirement as professor emeritus, he was a professor at the University of Minnesota.In the theory of infrared corrections, Suura made important contributions, essential for many precise measurements involving elementary particles, especially electrons.
He was elected in 1967 a Fellow of the American Physical Society. On June 1, 1994, the University of Minnesota held a colloquium in honor of Hiroshi Suura. After his death, the Physical Society of Japan published a collection of articles as a memorial to him.
