Weng Cho Chew

Born in Malaysia, Chew received his bachelor's, master's and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1976, 1978 and 1980, respectively. Following his doctoral studies, Chew joined Schlumberger-Doll Research in 1981 where he rose to the rank of department manager. In 1985, he accepted a position at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where he was director of the electromagnetics lab from 1995 to 2007.{{Cite web|url=https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/author/37277279700|title=Weng Cho Chew|website=IEEE|access-date=2019-08-12}}  From 2007 to 2011, Chew served as dean of engineering at the University of Hong Kong. In 2017, Chew joined the school of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University.

Chew's chief contributions are in the areas of waves in inhomogeneous media for various geophysical subsurface sensing and non-destructive testing applications,{{Cite book|title=Waves and fields in inhomogeneous media|last=Chew, Weng Cho.|date=1995|publisher=IEEE Press|isbn=9780470547052|location=New York|oclc=557450204}}{{Cite journal|last1=Chew|first1=W.
