1959 graduated from the university of Michigan, and successively obtained 1960, 1962 master of science and doctor of philosophy degrees, 1978 honorary doctor of science degrees, and 1968 to 65438 as an associate professor in the physics department of Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
1974, he and richter, a professor at Stanford University in California, discovered a new elementary particle-J particle (the lifetime of this particle is 1000 times that of any other particle), that is, the bound state of the fourth quark, so they both won the 1976 Nobel Prize in Physics and the Lawrence Prize of the US government.
He is currently a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an honorary professor at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (National Science and Technology University) and Sichuan University (Sichuan University). He won the 1976 Nobel Prize in Physics. He once discovered a new elementary particle and named it "J particle" after the Latin letter "J" used to represent electromagnetic current in physical literature.
1975 was elected as an academician of the American Academy of Arts. He is an academician of the American Academy of Sciences. His research interests include high-energy experimental particle physics, including quantum electrodynamics, unified theory of weak current, and quantum chromodynamics. The Mark Jay experimental group led by him has worked in several international experimental centers.
In 2000, he was appointed honorary president of Rizhao Vocational and Technical College.
On June 8, 2005, he was hired as honorary president of Qufu Normal University.
On June 18, 2005, Ding Zhaozhong, a famous physicist at home and abroad, returned to his hometown of Rizhao, Shandong Province, with his wife and children.

Ding Zhaozhong's way of thinking and communication is extremely unique. The first communication with him makes people feel that his thinking is confused. But if you listen carefully, you will understand that his thinking is not chaotic, but that what he wants to say is too complicated to be expressed reasonably in words. I think everyone who has listened to his lecture has a deep understanding of this.
On April 3rd, 20 13, Ding Zhaozhong, a Nobel Prize winner and Chinese physicist, and his Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer project team announced their achievements, which made mankind take an important step in understanding dark matter. Ding Zhaozhong's team discovered 6.8 million positrons with the help of Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which may come from the antimatter that human beings have been looking for.
His father: Ding (1911-kloc-0/991), a native of Taoluo Town, Donggang District, Rizhao City, Shandong Province. Famous civil engineering expert, professor of Jiaozuo Institute of Technology (now China University of Mining and Technology in Xuzhou City, Jiangsu Province, Henan Polytechnic University in Jiaozuo City, Henan Province), Shandong University and Chongqing University.
