Liu Chao-shiuan
Liu Chao-shiuan (Chinese: 劉兆玄; pinyin: Liú Zhàoxuán; born 10 May 1943) is a Taiwanese chemist and politician. He is a former president of the National Tsing Hua University (1987–1993) and Soochow University (2004–2008) and a former Premier of the Republic of China (2008–2009).
Liu was born in Changsha, Hunan, in 1943. His family moved to Taiwan during the Great Retreat. After graduating from the Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University, he studied chemistry at National Taiwan University and graduated with his Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in 1965.
