The William I. Fine Theoretical Physics Institute is a research institute in the University of Minnesota College of Science and Engineering.FTPI was largely the work of physics Professor Emeritus, Stephen Gasiorowicz and university alumnus and Twin Cities real-estate developer William I. Fine. [1] The institute officially came into existence in January 1987. [2]
Pui, a native of Shanghai, [1] earned his bachelor's of science (1970), master's of science (1973), and doctor of philosophy degrees (1975), all in mechanical engineering, from the University of Minnesota, where he later taught as Regents Professor and LM Fingerson/TSI Chair in Mechanical Engineering.

James Kakalios (born December 27, 1958) [1] is a physics professor at the University of Minnesota.Known within the scientific community for his work with amorphous semiconductors, granular materials, and 1/f noise, he is known to the general public as the author of the book The Physics of Superheroes, which considers comic book superheroes from the standpoint of fundamental physics.
After he graduated in 1950, he became an associate professor at the University of Minnesota. There, he built a 68 MeV proton linear accelerator, which he used to perform proton-proton scattering experiments. In 1964, he joined the Physics Laboratory of The Aerospace Corporation, where he learned techniques for investigating far infrared radiation.
