Yen-Chieh Huang

Bibliography:

Dr. Huang is born in 1964 in Taiwan. He received his BS degree in January 1987, from the Electrical Engineering Department, National Sun Yat-Sen University, Taiwan. He received his MS and PhD in 1991 and 1995, respectively, from the Electrical Engineering Department, Stanford University, USA. Supervised by Prof. R.H. Pantell, his PhD thesis demonstrated the world’s most compact and least expensive far-infrared free-electron laser during 1990~1994. Between 1995 and 1997, Dr. Huang worked as a postdoctoral research affiliate for Prof. Robert L. Byer of Stanford in the Center for Nonlinear Optical Materials and held a joint appointment as a consulting scientist in the Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory. His research under Byer marks the onset of a new research field, called accelerator on a chip or ACHIP (https://achip.stanford.edu/). In February 1997, Dr. Huang joined the faculty of the Nuclear Science Department, National Tsinghua University (NTHU), in Taiwan and, in August 1999, he transferred to the Department of Electrical Engineering in the same university. In 2008, he established the High-energy Optics and Electronics Laboratory (HOPE Lab.) at NTHU. Dr. Huang has published a wide range of technical papers in laser, nonlinear optics, particle acceleration, and relativistic radiations. In his career, he successfully founded two companies, https://www.hcphotonics.com and https://www.LEDlas.com, with the first being the first PPLN-crystal company and the second being the first LED laser company in the world. Dr. Huang is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a senior member of Optica.
