Introduction

Dr. Lee received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from National Chiao Tung University (NTCU) and National Taiwan University (NTU), Taiwan, in 1994 and 1996, respectively. In 2005, he received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), USA. From 1996 to 1998, he worked at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) as a supervisor in the Manufacturing Dept. of Fab. V. In 2005, he joined the Institute of Photonics Technologies and the Dept. of Electrical Engineering faculty at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), and currently he is a full professor. From 2016 to 2018, He was also appointed as a joint R&D director in Intelligent Application Micro Systems Division, EOSRL, ITRI for developing Si photonics technology. 

Dr. Lee’s group devotes to the research and development of Group IV based integrated photonics and optoelectronics. His lab has been recognized as the main research lab for Si photonics in Taiwan, from material study, component design/modeling, process development, fabrication, measurement/characterization, system integration and packaging. He has led his team in conducting several large integrated projects granted by National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) in Taiwan and industrial joint development project (JDP) on this topic. 

Microscopic Optical System Lab (MOSLAB) focuses on the research of advanced technology in integrated photonics, including fundamental material/process, platform technology, device design/fabrication, measurement, package and system-level integration. MOSLAB has been recognized as the main research lab for Si photonics R&D in Taiwan
