 Professor Daniel Tsui Chee is a world-renowned physicist of Chinese origin. He was born in Henan, China and received his secondary education at Pui Ching Middle School in Hong Kong. He furthered his studies in the United States and obtained his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1967. In 1982, he became the Arthur LeGrand Doty Professor of Electrical Engineering at the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Princeton University of the United States.

In 1998, Professor Daniel Tsui was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics. He discovered the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect in his experimental studies of electrons, which revolutionized the way electrons are perceived. He also identified several physical properties that have led scientists to more completely understand the materials that make "chips", the great building blocks of the high tech, computer age.
