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 who became a professor in Operations Research at the University of Waterloo. After retiring in 1999, he wrote on
biophysics and was also a visiting professor at
Nanyang Technological University in
Singapore. In a 1957 paper,
T. D. Lee, Huang, and
C. N. Yang introduced the
Lee–Huang–Yang correction on Bose–Einstein condensate systems. ==Translation==
