By bringing together faculty from USC’s renowned programs in engineering, medicine, the sciences and pharmacy, the Ming Hsieh Institute cultivates an environment of creativity and collaboration.
Ming Hsieh
Ming Hsieh developed a keen interest and skill in technology as a young child in northeastern China, learning from his electrical engineer father how to dismantle and reassemble everything from transistor radios to televisions.
Following in the footsteps of an uncle who earned a master’s in mechanical engineering at USC, Hsieh enrolled at USC after two years of college at what is now the South China University of Technology in Guangzhou. He earned his B.S. in electrical engineering in 1983 and his M.S. in electrical engineering just one year later.
