Chairman of the Board of Directors-Dr. Hsu Dr. Wen-Hsing Hsu is the founder and General Manager of Startek Engineering Inc. He was born in Taipei in 1950, his father was a doctor in Taiwan National Hospital who was aggressively releasing his theses in various academic associations well into his sixties. This kind of career-long commitment has influenced him greatly.

His academic career was quite smooth. After graduating from Chien-Kuo High School in Taipei, he got into the electronic engineering department of Cheng-Kung University. Unlike most people that chose the States as the destination for further education, Wen-Hsing Hsu chose Japan as the country for pursuing graduate study. He got into Keio University, Tokyo, Japan, to study electronic engineering.

Keio University is one of Japan's most historic universities. Wen-Hsing Hsu received both his M. E. and doctoral degrees there. Under the supervision of the director of Engineering department, he studied statistical theories and computer theory in the beginning. Later, he was engaged in the study of computer assisted teaching, visual psychology; in the last stage of his doctoral studies, he focused his studies on image processing, pattern recognition and published some ten related papers. He received his doctoral degree in March, 1982.

In the end of 1989, he and several ex-classmates co-established Startek Engineering Inc. as the world's one and only company dedicated to fingerprint verification system.Right now, there are more than forty companies worldwide engaging in the research of fingerprint verification, but only a few have the capacity to transform it into commercial products. Based on solid R&D resources, Startek's fingerprint products have won a series of prizes and awards inside and outside the country, and Wen-Hsing Hsu has become a renowned figure in the optics field. Wen-Hsing Hsu believes that Taiwan stands a good chance to become the worldwide hub of fingerprint verification technology and is confident that the dream will be realized step by step. If this comes true, it will not just re-write the human life, and will set up a milestone in the history of Taiwan hi-tech development.
