Chii-Dong Lin (born 1946) is a Taiwanese physicist.
Lin was born in 1946, and is a native of Changhua County. [1] After graduating from National Taiwan University in 1969, he earned a doctorate from the University of Chicago in 1974 and was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University until 1976, when he joined the Kansas State University faculty. [2] [3] [4] In 1985, Lin was elected a fellow of the American Physical Society, "[f]or his pioneering hyperspherical coordinate analyses of two electron atoms and ions, and his contribution to the development of the relativistic random phase approximation for atomic photoionization. [5] In 1990, Lin was appointed to a distinguished professorship. [2]
Chang-lin Tien was a Chinese-American professor of mechanical engineering and university administrator.

National Hsinchu Senior High School is a high school in East District, Hsinchu City, Taiwan. Student enrollment averages around 2200.
Frank Hsia-San Shu was a Chinese-American astrophysicist, astronomer, and author. He served as a Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley and University of California, San Diego. He is best known for proposing the density wave theory to explain the structure of spiral galaxies, and for describing a model of star formation, where a giant dense molecular cloud collapses to form a star.
William Esco Moerner is an American physical chemist and chemical physicist with current work in the biophysics and imaging of single molecules. He is credited with achieving the first optical detection and spectroscopy of a single molecule in condensed phases, along with his postdoc, Lothar Kador. Optical study of single molecules has subsequently become a widely used single-molecule experiment in chemistry, physics and biology. In 2014, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Chia-Chiao Lin was a Chinese-born American applied mathematician and Institute Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Arthur Dong is an American filmmaker and author whose work centers on Asia America and anti-gay prejudice. He was raised in San Francisco, California, graduating from Galileo High School in June 1971. He received his BA in film from San Francisco State University and also holds a Directing Fellow Certificate from the American Film Institute Center for Advanced Film Studies. In 2007, SFSU named Dong its Alumnus of the year “for his continued success in the challenging arena of independent documentary filmmaking and his longstanding commitment to social justice."
Harry George Drickamer, born Harold George Weidenthal, was a pioneer experimentalist in high-pressure studies of condensed matter. His work generally concerned understanding the electronic properties of matter.
