About
Dr. Ping Sheng is Chair Professor of Nanoscience and Professor of Physics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). A pioneer in acoustic metamaterials, he established the conceptual foundation for locally resonant sonic materials and developed innovative metamaterial absorbers.
His research encompasses wave-matter interactions across phononic, photonic and electronic systems, with seminal contributions to acoustic metamaterials, carbon nanostructure superconductivity, and electrorheological fluids. Current work focuses on broadband absorption technologies for underwater and microwave applications.
Dr. Sheng has received the Brillouin Medal, Rolf Landauer Medal, and Bloch Prize for his transformative contributions. He co-founded Acoustic Metamaterials Group (AMG), enabling commercial applications of metamaterial technologies.
