Ching Ping Pui, Joseph received his BSc. in Physics and Mathematics and MPhil. in Physics from The University of Hong Kong. After that, he went to the United States to pursue PhD study in Atmospheric Sciences in the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where he developed a research interest in atmospheric aerosol particles and studied their impacts on clouds and climate. Later, he joined Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) of the US Department of Energy as a postdoc working on atmospheric aerosol modeling. In 2017, he moved to Japan to work in the Meteorological Research Institute of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and most recently in Tottori University as an Assistant Professor, where he extended his research to study the impacts of atmospheric aerosol particles on air quality and public health before joining Department of Science and Environmental Studies (SES), EdUHK in 2023.
