Biography
Asst Prof Chew is currently in the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences since 2005. He received his Bachelor degree with honors in Electrical Engineering from the National University of Singapore, Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Southern California in the U.S.A and Ph.D. degrees in Theoretical Physics from the National Univeristy of Singapore respectively. His research interests include nonlinear dynamcis and chaos, and the physics of complex systems. Dr. Chew is a member of the American Physical Society.
Research Interests
Dr Chew research interest is to explore, investigate and uncover the fundamental physical mechanisms and organization principles within complex systems and their dynamics, through the paradigm of statistical and nonlinear physics. His current research focus is on the topic of: quantum-classical correspondence in the entanglement dynamics of coupled systems, the statistical physics of alpha helix to beta-sheet transitions in protein folding, self-organization in dusty plasmas and BEC, and weak signal detection by an array of multiply coupled stochastic resonators.
