About Ling-Lie Chau, Ph.D.
Ling-Lie Chau is a Professor Emerita in Physics at UC Davis. Besides her endowment gifts to encourage and support excellence in physics education and research, this endowment gift to encourage and support excellence in brain research is a token to express her belief that basic research on the brain and its diseases is of utmost importance and to express her appreciation and support of the excellent basic research being carried out at the Center for Neuroscience at UC Davis. She, among many, hopes that such basic research not only will result in finding cures to brain diseases but also will lead to the fundamental understanding of the workings of the human brain, which is undeniably the most essential organ of a human (making thought and emotions, analyzing sights and hearings, commending motions and speeches, etc., thus defines the being of each human), and considered by many the most complex thing in the universe. She hopes that the Center for Neuroscience will be a long-term endeavor at UC Davis, and to which the Award will be of help in perpetuity.
