Daniel Chee Tsui Net Worth

Daniel Chee Tsui is a Chinese-born American physicist who was awarded a share of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1998 for his contributions to the discovery of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Born into a humble farming family in Henan, China, his parents sent him to Hong Kong for his schooling. He then received a full scholarship to Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois, in the United States, and went on to receive his PhD in physics from the University of Chicago. He began his professional career working for Bell Laboratories, where he performed pioneering research in semiconductors. In the early 1980s he changed his career path and became a professor of Electrical Engineering at Princeton.
