His experiences span both government and commercial space programs, where he has held leadership positions, including his role as the first LSU Raborn Distinguished Chair Professor and faculty member at Rice University. He is a member of the Explorers Club, the International Academy of Astronautics, and the Committee of 100.
Dr. Chiao's tenure at NASA lasted fifteen years, culminating in his role as Commander and NASA Science Officer of Expedition 10 aboard the International Space Station.

His unique international experiences include his visit in September 2006 to the Astronaut Research and Training Center of China, where he met with Chinese astronauts Yang Liwei and Fei Junlong.
Dr. Chiao completed his undergraduate studies in Chemical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1983. He earned his Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the University of California, Santa Barbara, in 1985 and 1987, respectively.
