Cai Shaotang


Cai Shaotang (Leon O. Chua), a Chinese minority, grew up in Philippines and move to the States to earn a PhD from UIUC in 1964. Currently Dr. Chua is an IEEE fellow and a professor at UC Berkeley.

Chua is deemed the 'father' of nonlinear circuit theory. He pioneered this field with his PhD dissertation 'Nonlinear Network Analysis -- The Parametric Approach'. More recently, he was chased with spotlight for his invention of 'memristor', a circuit element formulated and named by Chua in a 1971 paper 'Memristor -- The Missing Circuit Element'. 40 years later, HP discovered a pragmatic technique to mass produce memristor by accident.

The potential of this 'fourth element (after resister, capacitor and inductor)' is thunderous and endless. Memristor promises not only greater capacity but also lower energy. Leon Chua could be the next Chinese for the Nobel prize.

Chua's eldest daughter Amy caught media attention not too long ago with her book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother in which she advocate for strict parenting guidance, aka, raising children the Chinese way.
