Moses Hung-Wai Chan (Chinese: 陳鴻渭; pinyin: Chén Hóngwèi) is a Chinese-American physicist who is Evan Pugh Professor at Pennsylvania State University. He is an alumnus of Bridgewater College and Cornell University, where he earned his Ph.D. in 1974 and was a postdoctoral associate at Duke University. He has been a professor at Penn State's University Park Campus since 1979.
Through the years, Chan's work has spanned many diverse topics.
Chan is known for the experimental discovery of evidence for a new supersolid quantum state of matter,[4][5] predicted theoretically in 1969 by Alexander Andreev and Ilya Liftshitz, and its subsequent refutation.[6] Other significant discoveries include the experimental observation of Critical Casimir effect[7] and the experimental confirmation of 2D Ising model.[8]
