Biography
Siu-Tat Chui was born in Hong Kong, China on April 20, 1949. He went to McGill University in 1967 and obtained his B.S. degree with first class honors in physics in 1969. He won the first prize of the 1969 University Prize Exam sponsored by the Canadian Association of Physicists while in Canada. After that, he went to Princeton University on an Imperial Oil Fellowship and obtained a Ph.D. in physics in 1972. He remained an instructor at Princeton from 1972-73. He was a member of the Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories from 1973 to 1975, an Assistant Professor at SUNY-Albany from 1975 to 1979 and joined the Bartol Research Foundation in 1979 and is currently professor. He has been visiting professors at the University of Maryland, the Institute of Materials Research of Tohoku University, Japan; the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Umea University, Sweden and the Institute of Theoretical Physics, Beijing.
