Ting completed his PhD in physics in 1962 having acquired a deep knowledge of the most novel techniques employed in high-energy physics accelerators and a clear understanding of the relevant theoretical problems in particle physics.
Feb 19, 2024 · In 1963, shortly after receiving his PhD, Samuel C. C. Ting received a Ford Foundation fellowship and with that he joined European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) at Geneva, Switzerland. There he worked with Giuseppe Cocconi at the Proton Synchrotron, a key component in CERN’s accelerator complex.
In 1956, he returned to Ann Arbor to study math and physics at the University of Michigan, where he received his BSc in 1959, MSc in 1960 and PhD in 1962. Ting began his career at CERN – now home to the Large Hadron Collider – in Geneva in 1963.
