- Hong-Yee Chiu (Chinese: 丘宏義) is an American astrophysicist and successful publisher of EHGBooks micro-publishing company, born in Shanghai in October 1932. Chiu graduated from National Taiwan University and later received his PhD in Astrophysics from Cornell University. After graduation, he was a member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. He served as a Space Astrophysics Scientist for NASA for over 35 years. In 1969, Chiu was the first Chinese-American scientist to receive the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal. He was also the first scientist to officially use the term "quasar," in 1964. After his retirement from NASA, Chiu started the EHanism Group and developed an EHGBooks micropublishing app with some notable Chinese computer scientists in order to promote Chinese culture and Sinology memory. With his niece and assistant Nonny Hsueh, the family helped the National Central Library of the Republic of Taiwan, R.O.C. to participate in the World Digital Library organization under the auspices of UNESCO in 2008. Later on, Chiu led the EHanism Group to develop the first Amazon Micropublishing Chinese Solution in 2012 ( (Google, viewed Dec. 22, 2015) )
