Early background:
Samuel C.C. Ting was born on 27 January 1936 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA., where his parents, Professor K.H. Ting and Professor Jeanne M.Wong Ting, were students at the University of Michigan. His family returned to China a few months later.
Education
Elementary and secondary education took place in China, during the 1936-1956 period. S.C.C. Ting excelled in mathematics, science and history. In 1956, he returned to the United States to attend the University of Michigan as an engineering student, but he soon transferred his major to physics.
Higher Education
1959: awarded BSE (in physics) and BSE (in mathematics) from the University of Michigan
1962: awarded Ph.D. (in physics) from the University of Michigan.
Academic and Research Position
In 1963, S.C.C. Ting was granted a Ford Foundation Fellowship to work at the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, Switzerland. He returned to the United States in 1964 to become an instructor at Columbia University in New York. In 1966, he became the leader of an experimental group at the Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany. In 1969, he was appointed Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Cambridge, Massachusetts and in 1977 he was selected as the first recipient of the Thomas Dudley Cabot Institute Professorship at MIT.

Contribution to Physics:
Samuel Ting's research has centered on experimental particle physics, quantum electrodynamics, and the interaction of photons with matter. His most important wok includes :
Discovery of the anti-deuteron.
A twenty-year series of experiments testing the validity of quantum electrodynamics and showing that electrons, muons, and tau mesons are pointlike particles with a radius smaller than 10-17 cm.
Precision studis of leptonic decays of vector mesons, measuring the branching ratio and the production phase of these photon-like particles and providing an important check of the Ualidity of the quark model.
A study of photoproduction of vector mesons demonstrating the similarity between photons and vector mesons.
Discovery of the J particle.
A systematic study of muon pair production at the CERN Intersecting Storage Ring to investigate the scaling behaviour and production mechanisms of heavy photons.
Discovery of gluon jets.
A systematic study of gluon physics at the Electron-Positron colliding beam accelerator PETRA.
A precision measurement of muon charge asymmetry, demonstrating for the first time the validity of the Standard electroweak Model.
Determination of the number of neutrino species and the precision measurement of the Z0 decay parameters at LEP, the 100 GeVe+e- collider beam accelerator
