Samuel C. Tseng Ph.D.

Samuel Tseng was born in Taiwan, where Christians are only 4.5% of the population of 23.5 million people. He earned a BS degree from the National Cheng Kung University with a major interest in communication engineering, and a MS degree from the National Chiao Tung University with a major interest in electromagnetic filed theory. Until then he was an atheist and adored renowned scientists and engineers.

He came to America for further graduate study in 1960. In the United States, he earned a Master of Engineering degree from Yale University with a major interest in servomechanisms and automatic control systems, and a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and two Ph.D. requirements of minor fields of study, physics and math. It was at this point in life he started his journey as a Christian.

He was a member of research staff and a research manager with IBM Research Division for 24 years, mostly at the T.J. Watson Research Center. He was one of the first three members who were sent to Japan to start up the IBM Tokyo Research Center. Returning to the U.S. after four and a half years in Japan, he retired from IBM Almaden Research Center, in San Jose, California. He still resides in Silicon Valley.

He was an IEEE fellow (The Institutes of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) and published several peer reviewed technical papers in the Journal of Applied Physics, IEEE transactions on Information Theory, Electronic Device, Sonics and Ultrasonics. He held eleven US patents assigned to Litton Industries and IBM.
