Ulf Leonhardt Biography

Ulf Leonhardt is one of the most popular and richest Physicist who was born on October 9, 1965 in Bad Schlema, Saxony, Germany. Ulf Leonhardt, FRSE (born 9 October 1965 in Schlema, Germany) is a German and British scientist. In 2006, he published the first scientific paper on invisibility cloaking with metamaterials at the same time Pendry’s group published their paper in the journal Science. He has been involved with the science of cloaking objects since then.

Around half a year later, in a later issue of Science magazine in 2015, Langping He, the Deputy Dean of the Centre for Optical and Electromagnetic Research (COER) and Academy of Advanced Optoelectronics, South China Normal University, published a response letter titled A Chinese physics institute’s defense . In the response letter, the COER side addressed many allegations in the earlier article.

Ulf ventured into China in 2011 to collaborate with researchers and academics. In particular, he participated in “China 1000 Talent” program and the “Guangzhou Leading Overseas Talent” program. Such programs come with both individual cash bonus and research funding. Ulf was hosted by a research center at South China Normal University in Guangzhou, China and in 2012, he was awarded funding for both programs. However, Ulf later realized there were possible foul play with the award money by his China counterparts. He later engaged a lawyer to investigate and Science magazine published an article entitled “Show me the Money?” in October 2014 to reveal more on the insights.
