Sang-Wook Cheong
Sang-Wook Cheong (born before 1982) is a South Korean physicist.
Cheong first studied mathematics at Seoul National University with a bachelor's degree in 1982 and received a doctorate in physics from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1989 . From 1986 to 1989 he was at Los Alamos National Laboratory and then until 2001 at Bell Telephone Laboratories . Since 1997 he has been a professor at Rutgers University . In 2005 he was founding director of the Center for Emergent Materials there. He is also a professor at the Natural Science and Technology University of Pohang (Postech). He was also a visiting researcher at the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center in Taiwan.
He deals with complex oxides such as multiferroics , those with the CMR effect and high-temperature superconductors .
In 2010 he received the James C. McGroddy Prize for New Materials for groundbreaking theoretical and experimental contributions that advanced the understanding and applicability of multiferroic oxides . In 2007 he received the Ho-Am Prize , in 2009 the KBS Global Korean Award and in 2000 he became a Fellow of the American Physical Society . He is one of the most highly cited scientists.
