Kerson Huang (Chinese: 黃克孫; pinyin: Huáng Kèsūn; 15 March 1928 – 1 September 2016) was a Chinese-born American theoretical physicist and translator.
He served as an instructor at MIT from 1953 to 1955, and subsequently spent two years as a fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study.
After returning to the MIT faculty in 1957, Huang became an authority on statistical physics, and worked on Bose–Einstein condensation and quantum field theory.
At MIT, he had many PhD students in theoretical physics including Raymond G. Vickson[1] who became a professor in Operations Research at the University of Waterloo.
With his wife Rosemary, Huang also translated the ancient divination text I Ching into English.
