J. J. Sakurai was a noted theorist in particle physics and Professor of Physics at UCLA (1970-1982) and University of Chicago (1964-1970). He received his Ph.D. from Cornell University, New York in 1958. He contributed greatly to the field of particle physics before passing away at the age of 49 in 1982, while he was visiting CERN in Geneva. In addition he had held visiting staff appointments at the California Institute of Technology, Universities of Tokyo and Nagoya, University of Paris d'Orsay, Scuola Normale Superiore at Pisa, Stanford Linear Accelerator, CERN at Geneva, and Max Planck Institute at Munich. He was a Sloan Fellow (1962-1966), Fellow of the American Physical Society (1964-1982), a Guggenheim Fellow (1975-1976) and a von Humboldt Fellow (1981-1982).
