Joseph Tsu Chieh Liu (born 1934) is an engineer.

Liu completed a bachelor's degree, followed by a Master of Science in Engineering, at the University of Michigan in 1958. He worked for a Convair for a year and was based in Fort Worth, Texas, before pursuing a doctorate at the California Institute of Technology in 1964. Liu subsequently worked for the Gas Dynamics Laboratory at Princeton University's Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Sciences. [1] He joined the Brown University faculty in 1966, [2] and upon his retirement, was granted emeritus status. [3] Liu was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society in 1984, "[f]or original and significant theoretical contributions in integrating and concepts of large scale turbulent structure into quantitative calculations of developing shear flows and their noise production."

Joseph Rotblat Polish-born British-naturalised physicist

Sir Joseph Rotblat was a Polish physicist, a self-described "Pole with a British passport". Rotblat worked on Tube Alloys and the Manhattan Project during World War II, but left the Los Alamos Laboratory on grounds of conscience after it became clear that Germany had ceased development of an atomic bomb in 1942. His work on nuclear fallout was a major contribution toward the ratification of the 1963 Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. A signatory of the 1955 Russell–Einstein Manifesto, he was secretary-general of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs from their founding until 1973 and shared, with the Pugwash Conferences, the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize "for efforts to diminish the part played by nuclear arms in international affairs and, in the longer run, to eliminate such arms."
