Lai Ying-Cheng is the ISS Endowed Professor of Electrical Engineering at Arizona State University since 2014, with concurrent appointments as Professor of Electrical Engineering (2001-present) and Affiliated Professor of Physics (2004-present). He previously held the Sixth Century Chair at University of Aberdeen (2009-2017) and faculty positions spanning Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, and Physics at Arizona State University and University of Kansas.
His research pioneers Relativistic Quantum Chaos (RQC), exploring intersections of Quantum Mechanics, Relativity, and Chaos Theory in 2D Dirac materials. He established transient chaos as a fundamental framework with applications in quantum transport modulation, ecological modeling, and epileptic seizure prediction. His group also pioneered compressive-sensing based identification of complex dynamical systems.
Award highlights include the Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellowship (2016), Royal Society of Edinburgh Fellowship (2018), and Presidential Early Career Award (1997). His international collaborations span Europe and Asia, generating ~80 high-impact papers in five years through partnerships with institutions in Germany, UK, China, and Japan.
