Hsu received a B.S. from the California Institute of Technology in 1986, and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley in 1991. After his doctorate, he was a Harvard Junior Fellow and Superconducting Super Collider Fellow from 1991-1994.

He became an assistant professor at Yale University in 1995 before moving to the University of Oregon in 1998 where he became a full professor of theoretical physics. In July 2012, he was named Michigan State University’s vice president for research and graduate studies.[1]

Hsu regularly writes in a blog called Information Processing.[2]
