Emily Shuk Chi Ching (Chinese: 程淑姿) is a Hong Kong theoretical physicist based at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She researches fluid turbulence and has been elected as a fellow of the Institute of Physics and American Physical Society.

Education

[edit]

Emily Shuk Chi Ching attended the University of Hong Kong for her bachelor's degree and the Chinese University of Hong Kong for her master's degree.[1] She graduated from the University of Chicago with a PhD in physics in 1992. She then completed a post-doctoral research appointment at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, which is part of the University of California, Santa Barbara.[2]

Career

[edit]

After finishing her post-doc, Ching returned to Hong Kong, accepting a position at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1995.[2][3] Her research interests include scaling and structures as they relate to fluid turbulence, polymers in turbulence, boundary layers in Rayleigh–Bénard convection, and network reconstruction from dynamics.[1]

She has been involved as an associate editor or editorial board member for several journals, including Physical Review E,[2] Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics,[4] and Journal of Turbulence.[3]

Awards and honours

[edit]

In 1999 she received the Achievement in Asia Award from the Overseas Chinese Physics Association.[3] Ching was elected as a fellow of the Institute of Physics in 2004 and the American Physical Society in 2005.[1]
