Professor Wong Ching Ping, Emeritus Professor, Department of Electronic Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, has been named as a Highly Cited Researcher 2021 in the field of material science by Clarivate Analytics.
Professor Wong received his BS degree from Purdue University, and his MS and PhD degree from the Pennsylvania State University. After his doctoral study, he was awarded a postdoctoral fellowship under Nobel laureate Prof. Henry Taube at Stanford University. Prior to joining Georgia Tech, he was with AT&T Bell Laboratories for many years and became an AT&T Bell Laboratories Fellow (the highest technical award bestowed by AT&T Bell Labs) in 1992. He was the Dean of Faculty of Engineering at CUHK from 2010-2018.
Professor Wong has published widely with over 1,000 technical papers, authored and edited 12 books. He holds over 65 US patents and his research focuses on nano functional materials, polymer composites for electronic and photonic applications, energy harvesting and storage.
Professor Wong said, “I would like to thank my CUHK colleagues: faculty, students, postdocs for their years’ of support that make it possible.” This is the fourth time he received the honor. Such consistent production of highly cited reports indicates that his research has been repeatedly judged by their peers to be of notable significance and utility.
The annual list identifies some 6,600 researchers from across the globe who demonstrated significant influence in their chosen field or fields through the publication of multiple highly cited papers during the last decade. The Highly Cited Researchers’ names are drawn from the publications that rank in the top 1% by citations for field and publication year in the Web of Science citation index, and the list identifies the research institutions and countries where they are based.
