Chow is the son of Kai An and Hsin Sheng Chow of Elmhurst, New York.[2] He attended Midland High School in Michigan, and then did his undergraduate studies at Princeton University and his Ph.D. at Stanford University.[2][3] One result from his dissertation was proof that an on-off energy distribution has negligible loss compared to an exact water-filling shape, "as long as it uses the same or nearly the same transmission band as water-filling".[4]
After completing his Ph.D., Chow joined Amati, a company founded in 1992 by Cioffi, who had taken a two-year leave of absence from Stanford to commercialize discrete multi-tone modulation.[5] In 2010, Chow joined Assia, a Los Altos-based broadband technology vendor also founded by Cioffi in 2003.[6] He was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2013 for his contributions to digital subscriber line technology.[7]
Chow married Carla Marie Holmes of Menlo Park, California, in a ceremony at the Thomas Fogarty Winery in 1999.[2]
