Leon Ong Chua (; Chinese: ???; pinyin: Cài Shaotáng; Wade–Giles: Ts'ai Shao-t'ang; Pe?h-oe-ji: Chhòa Siáu-tông; born June 28, 1936) is an American electrical engineer and computer scientist.
He is a professor in the electrical engineering and computer sciences department at the University of California, Berkeley, which he joined in 1971.
He has contributed to nonlinear circuit theory and cellular neural network (CNN) theory.
He is also the inventor and namesake of Chua's circuit one of the first and most widely known circuits to exhibit chaotic behavior, and was the first to conceive the theories behind, and postulate the existence of, the memristor.
Thirty-seven years after he predicted its existence, a working solid-state memristor was created by a team led by R.
