Description
Timwah Luk got his Ph.D. in electrical engineering, and had opportunities around the globe. He immigrated from Hong Kong to Maine in 1982, and as of 2017, works for Fairchild Semiconductor in South Portland.
Luk’s life in Maine focussed on leadership of a growing community of Chinese immigrants in the Chinese Gospel Church of Portland.
“I’m comfortable in China, Hong Kong, and here. But this is home for me,” he said in 2009. “Even with all the problems we have in America, I think it’s a great country.”
