Timeline

Deborah Duen Ling Chung (professionally known as D.D.L. Chung, ) is an American scientist and university professor.

Chung was born and raised in Hong Kong.

Her mother was Rebecca Chan Chung (United States World War II veteran with the Flying Tigers and the United States Army in China), whose mother was Lee Sun Chau (one of the first female doctors of Western Medicine in China).

Chung studied at Ying Wa Girls' School and King's College (Hong Kong).

1890

Chung's historical work pertains to modern Chinese history, as centered around her mother Rebecca Chan Chung and grandmother Lee Sun Chau (1890-1979).

Chau was one of the earliest Chinese female doctors of Western Medicine in China.

1920

Chung is a co-author of the book Piloted to Serve, an autobiography of her mother, Rebecca Chan Chung (1920-2011), a nurse with the Flying Tigers, United States Army and China National Aviation Corporation during World War II.

1970

She moved to the United States in 1970 and received a B.S. degree in Engineering and Applied Science and an M.S. degree in Engineering Science from California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in 1973.

At Caltech, she conducted research under the supervision of Pol Duwez.

She, Sharon R. Long, Flora Wu and Stephanie Charles are the four first women to receive B.S. degrees from Caltech.

1977

Chung received a Ph.D. degree in materials science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1977.

Her thesis, which was on graphite intercalation compounds, was supervised by Mildred S. Dresselhaus.

In 1977, Chung joined the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University, where she taught materials science and electrical engineering.

1980

In addition, Chung received the Robert Lansing Hardy Gold Medal from American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical, and Petroleum Engineers (AIME) in 1980.

The main theme of Chung's research is composite materials, with emphasis on multifunctional structural materials, materials for thermal management and electronic packaging, materials for electromagnetic interference shielding, structural materials for vibration damping, and structural materials for thermoelectricity.

Chung invented "smart concrete" (concrete that can sense its own condition), nickel nanofiber (also known as nickel filament, for electromagnetic interference shielding) and conformable thermal paste (for improving thermal contacts, with applications in microelectronic cooling).

Chung is highly productive in scientific research, with research funding provided mainly by the Federal government of the United States.

1986

In 1986, she joined the faculty of University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, where she directs the Composite Materials Research Laboratory and was named Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation Endowed Chair Professor in 1991.

1991

In 1991, she became Fellow of the American Carbon Society.

1993

In 1993, she was honored as "Teacher of the Year" by Tau Beta Pi (New York Nu).

She also served as the Chair of the 21st Biennial Conference on Carbon held in Buffalo, New York, in 1993.

Moreover, she was a member of the Advisory Committee of the American Carbon Society.

In addition, Chung serves as a reviewer for a large number of scientific research journals.

1998

In 1998, she became Fellow of ASM International (society).

2003

She received the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities from State University of New York in 2003 and was named Outstanding Inventor by State University of New York in 2002.

2004

Chung was the first American woman and the first person of Chinese descent to receive the Charles E. Pettinos Award, in 2004; the award was in recognition of her work on functional carbons for thermal, electromagnetic and sensor applications.

2005

In 2005, she received the Hsun Lee Lecture Award from Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

2011

In 2011, she received an Honorary Doctorate Degree from University of Alicante, Alicante, Spain.

In 2023, Chung was elected as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

2018

Chung is the author of "Carbon Materials", World Scientific, 2018, Carbon Composites, 2nd Edition, Elsevier, 2016, Functional Materials, World Scientific, 2nd Ed., 2021 and Composite Materials: Science and Applications, 2nd Edition, Springer, 2010.

She is the Editor of two-book series, The Road to Scientific Success and Engineering Materials for Technological Needs.

According to the 2022 Stanford University publication/citation-based ranking of all researchers in the world (living/deceased) for all disciplines, Chung is ranked No. 13 among 315,721 researchers in the world with Materials as the primary discipline; if only the living researchers are counted, Chung is ranked No. 10 in the world; if only women are counted, Chung is ranked No. 1 in the world; if only researchers of Chinese descent are counted, Chung is ranked No. 1 in the world.

Among the researchers in University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, for all disciplines combined, Chung is ranked No. 1. Also in 2022, Chung is ranked No. 1 in the world in the field of carbon fibers.

Chung is among 100 scientists featured in the book Successful Women Ceramic and Glass Scientists and Engineers: 100 Inspirational Profiles.

She has been interviewed by the news media concerning various scientific topics including conductive concrete for melting snow, smart concrete, and batteries.

Chung is Executive Guest Editor for the Special Issue on "Amorphous and Nanocrystalline Carbon Films: Development and Applications" of the journal Materials Chemistry and Physics, dedicated to the memory of Professor Mildred S. Dresselhaus, Associate Editor of the Journal of Electronic Materials, and is a member of the editorial board of the Carbon journal, a member of the editorial board of the New Carbon Materials journal, and an Editor of Carbon Letters.

She is also a member of the editorial board of "Materials Chemistry and Physics" journal, "Functional Composite Materials" journal, and "Polymer and Polymer Composites" journal.

Recent work at the National Academies includes serving as a member of the Panel on Review of In-house Laboratory Independent Research in Materials Sciences at the Army's Research, Development, and Engineering Centers in 2018–19.
