Choongseok Chang (born 1951[ citation needed ]) is an American physicist. He is also known as CS Chang.

Chang earned an undergraduate degree in Physics from Seoul National University in 1974, and achieved a doctorate degree in Physics at the University of Texas at Austin. [1] After completing his studies in 1979, Chang undertook research at General Atomic in La Jolla and Applied Microwave Plasma Concepts in Carlsbad, California. [1] In 1986, Chang was appointed a professor of physics at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, and concurrently held a research professorship at New York University's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences from 1988. [1] [2] He became a Principal physicist at Princeton University Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in 2011. [1] [3] While at New York University, Chang was elected to fellow of the American Physical Society in 2006, "for seminal and pioneering contributions in neoclassical, rf-driven, and basic transport theories, and for his leadership in plasma edge simulation in toroidal magnetic confinement devices."
