Chung-Yun Hse (February 19, 1935 – November 12, 2021) was a Taiwanese American research scientist in wood utilization, who was an elected fellow (FIAWS) of the International Academy of Wood Science.[5] He served at the USDA Forest Service Southern Research Station in Pineville, Louisiana from 1967 through 2019.

Education and research career

Originally from Taiwan, Chung-Yun Hse obtained a master's degree in forest soil chemistry from Louisiana State University.[2] In 1972, he received a PhD in wood science and technology from the University of Washington.[3]

In 1963, a new research program was initiated at the Southern Forest Experiment Station in Pineville, Louisiana to address the lack of forest product utilization research in the Southern United States.[2] A key component of that research was development of wood adhesives to bind resinous wood from southern pines for plywood production, and Hse was selected to address that area of research.[2]

During his 50-year career with the US Forest Service, Hse produced three US patents,[6] authored or coauthored more than 150 research publications,[7] and hosted more than 40 scientists from research institutes and universities around the world.[4] [2] He retired in January 2020 as emeritus scientist.[8]
