Leon O. Chua
Leon O. Chua (Chinese蔡少棠, Pinyin Cai Shaotang, PEH oē - jī Chhòa Siau -tong; born June 28, 1936 on the Philippines ) is a Chinese engineer and professor at the University of California, Berkeley.
Life
In 1959, he became the Mapua Institute of Technology in Manila his Bachelor of Engineering in 1961 at MIT and a master's degree in 1964 his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, Urbana- Champaign. After that, he was assistant professor at Purdue University, where he was in 1967 appointed lecturer. In 1970 he went to UC Berkeley.
In 1971 he postulated the memristor. In 1983 he described the Chua 's Circuit. In 1988, he led a Cellular Nonlinear Networks ( CNN).
He is known internationally in its three areas of research:
- Bifurcation (mathematics) and chaos
- Non-linear dynamics ( chaos theory ) and complexity theory
In addition, he is the father of Amy Chua.
