Hideki Yukawa was a member of the Institute for Advanced Study in the School of Math and Natural Sciences in 1948-1949. Former Institute Director J. Robert Oppenheimer invited Yukawa as part of a prestigious group of young physicists in 1948. The cohort included Cheng Shu Wang Chang, Sheila Power, Bruria Kaufman, George Uhlenbeck, and Cécile DeWitt-Morrette, and Freeman Dyson. Before coming to the IAS, Yukawa was a professor at Osaka University where he published the paper, “On the Interaction of Elementary Particles. I.” This publication later led to his win of the Nobel Prize for Physics for his theorisation of the meson. In addition to his win of the Nobel Prize, he also won the Imperial Prize of the Japan Academy (1940), the Order of Culture (1943) that honors those who have advanced Japan in art, science, or other areas that provide cultural advancement. Yukawa also produced several books and papers in his career such as Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (1946), Introduction to the Theory of Elementary Particles (1948). He also was the editor of a Japanese journal that was translated into English called Process of Theoretical Physics that he often sent copies of to then director, J. Robert Oppenheimer prior to coming to the Institute. After he finished his term at IAS, Yukawa went on to teach at Columbia University (1949-1953) before returning once again to Kyoto University where he taught for the remainder of his career.
