TeYu Chien obtained his BS degree in Physics from the national Taiwan Normal University, Taipei, Taiwan. He entered graduate school in Physics at the University of Tennessee in 2005, graduating in 2009 with a Ph.D. His thesis was Anisotropic Electron-Phonon Coupling on a Two-Dimensional Isotropic Fermi Contour: ?¯ Surface State of Be(0001). Most of his thesis work was done at national Synchrotron Radiation sources, ASTRID (Denmark) and ALS (Berkeley).
