Wai-Yim Ching is a Curator’s Professor of Physics at the University of Missouri, Kansas City. [2] He is also a group leader at the Electronic Structure Group (ESG) in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and an invited speaker of the 57th Midwest Solid State Conference. [3] [4]
Wai-Yim Ching was born in 1945 in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, China.[ citation needed] He completed his primary school and part of middle school education in China.[ citation needed] His family moved to Hong Kong in 1966.[ citation needed] He worked part-time in a variety of manual jobs while attending high school (Queen’s College).[ citation needed] He was admitted to the University of Hong Kong in 1966 and graduated with a B. Sc. degree in 1969 and completed his Ph.D. at the Louisiana State University.[ citation needed]
Dr. Ching’s research and publications cover diverse disciplines such as condensed matter physics, ceramics and glasses, chemistry, biology, material science, engineering, medical science, geophysics and earth science in topics:
In recent years, he did research on the defects and impurities in insulators, [5] development of computational methodologies and algorithms, Transition metal ions in laser crystals, Electronic structure of ceramics. [6] His research area is theoretical condensed matter physics, materials science, ceramics and glasses, chemistry, biology, engineering, medical science, and earth science.
In 1978, He joined the University of Missouri-Kansas City as an assistant professor and got tenure in 1984, and quickly rose through the ranks.[ citation needed] He was appointed Curator’s Distinguished Professor of the University of Missouri in 1988.[ citation needed] He served as the Chair of the Department from 1990-1998.
