Kaischew graduated from Sofia University in 1930 and earned his PhD in Germany in 1932. He became an assistant professor in 1933, and a professor in 1947. At the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Kaischew founded the Institute for Physical Chemistry, and held the position of director there from its creation in 1958 until his retirement in 1989. The Institute is named after him.
