2025 American Physical Society (APS) Fellow – Professor Ricky Ang
For pioneering theoretical foundations of quantum nonneutral plasma physics, electron emission laws for ultrasmall, ultrafast, and ultra-intense field conditions, and applying fractional calculus for modeling rough surface emission and electron and photon transport in inhomogeneous media.
The American Physical Society has named Professor Ricky Ang Lay Kee an APS Fellow for 2025 (Division of Plasma Physics Fellowship). The APS Fellowship recognises excellence in physics and exceptional service to the physics community.
Prof Ang is Associate Provost for International Relations and the Ng Teng Fong Chair Professor for SUTD-ZJU IDEA at SUTD. A distinguished theoretical and computational scientist, Prof Ang’s research focuses on developing theoretical scaling laws and models to address complex physical problems.
His other recognitions and accolades include AAIA Fellow (2024), IEEE Fellow (2022), Fellow of the Institute of Physics (UK) (2020), and he has been ranked among the top 2% of scientists in Applied Physics since 2020.
