Opening Remarks
Hao-Chung Kuo (Fellow, IEEE) received the B.S. degree in physics from National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, the M.S. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, USA, in 1995, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, Urbana, IL, USA, in 1999. He has an extensive professional career in academic research and industrial research institutions, which include a Research Assistant with Lucent Technologies and Bell Laboratories, from 1993 to 1995, and a Senior Research and Development Engineer of the Fiber-Optics Division, Agilent Technologies, from 1999 to 2001, and LuxNet Corporation, from 2001 to 2002. Since October 2002, he has been a Faculty Member with the Institute of Electro-Optical Engineering, National Chiao Tung University (NCTU), Hsinchu, Taiwan. He is currently the Associate Dean of the Office of International Affairs, NCTU. He has authored or coauthored 300 international journal articles and two invited book chapters, and holds six granted and 12 pending patents. His research interests include semiconductor lasers, VCSELs, blue and UV LED lasers, quantum-confined optoelectronic structures, optoelectronic materials, and solar cells. He was elected as an OSA Fellow and the SPIE Fellow in 2012. He was the recipient of the Ta-YouWu Young Scholar Award from the National Science Council Taiwan in 2007 and Young Photonics Researcher Award from the OSA/SPIE Taipei Chapter in 2007.
