Chao-sheng Lee can be described as one of the most outstanding people in Taiwan’s present statistical community. His 40-year career of teaching and research has resulted in nearly 100 academic papers in well-known international periodicals. The National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) Graduate Institute of Statistics, where Lee established himself when he returned from the United States, has become a cornerstone for the development of Taiwan’s growing statistical academic circles. The NCTU Graduate Institute of Finance, which Lee helped establish, has provided Taiwan’s financial sector with the talent needed for growth and innovation.
Lee graduated from National Taiwan University’s Department of Business in 1964 and received his master’s in economics from the University of Rochester in 1969. He studied under Seymour Geisser at The State University of New York, Buffalo, and received his PhD in statistics in 1972. Upon completing his education, he began his teaching career at the University of Minnesota, and then taught at Wright State University, as well as other universities, for many years. He then went to Bell Labs and devoted himself to research in economics and statistics.
