Chang Kee Jung is a physicist and professor at SUNY Stony Brook. He was recognized as a SUNY Distinguished Professor at State University of New York[1][2] in 2016, and received a SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Scholarship and Creative Activities in 2014.[3] Born in the Republic of Korea (South Korea), he attended Seoul National University, graduating in 1979 with a Bachelor of Science in Physics.[4] In May 1986, he obtained a Ph.D. in Physics, specializing in Experimental High Energy Physics from Indiana University, in Bloomington, Indiana.[4]

Research Projects

From 1986-1990, Jung completed his postdoctoral research at SLAC, Stanford U,[4] working on the HRS Experiment, PEP, and the MarkII Experiment, SLC.[5] In 1991 he joined the Super-Kamiokande (SK) experiment and established Stony Brook NN group.[6] Since, Jung has served on the boards and committees of several Neutrino and Nucleon Decay experiments, including his role as Co-Spokesperson for the K2K US Collaboration, and the International Co-Spokesperson for the T2K Collaboration.[7]

Presently, Jung is the spokesperson for the T2K US Collaboration and the Founder & Chair of the Steering Committee for the NNN Workshop Series.[7]

Teaching

Jung was employed at SUNY Stony Brook as an Assistant Professor in 1990, becoming a full-time professor in 2000.[4] He is most noted for his creation of the course titled "The Physics of Sports" in 2003, the first of its kind to be offered in the U.S.[5] Jung's success with this course has since lead him to be sought out by sports news outlets, such as NBC 4 New York[8] and ABC News.[9] He is most cited for his scientific insight on the NFL deflate-gate scandal.[9][10] On January 25th, 2015 Jung appeared on the Melissa Harris-Perry show on MSNBC to discuss if climate could have affected the Patriot's footballs in the deflate-gate scandal.[11]
