Biography


Dr. Chan received his B.Eng., M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, all in Information Engineering. In September 1997, he joined the Department of Electronic Engineering at the City University of Hong Kong as a Research Assistant Professor. At both universities, he worked on high-speed alloptical tunable channel multi-access networks and surveillance techniques for fault identification in various kinds of optical network elements. In June 1999, he joined Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, Holmdel, NJ, as a Member of Technical Staff where he worked on an optical packet switch fabric with terabit-per-second capacity. In 2001, he served as Senior Optical System Engineer at Jedai Broadband Networks, Inc. in NJ, USA where he worked on the design of optical access networks and optical-wireless systems. In August 2001, he joined Department of Information Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and now serves as an Associate Professor. He has served as members of the Technical Program Committees of many international conferences, including the prestigious OFC/NFOEC, OECC, ICCCAS, Photonic in Switching, APOC, ICOCN, COIN, ChinaCom, ICAIT, etc. Currently, he serves as an Associate Editor for IEEE/OSA Journal of Optical Communications and Networking. Dr. Chan has published more than 180 technical papers in refereed international journals and conferences. He holds one issued US patent. His biography has been listed in Marquis Who's Who in the World (2009) and 2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century, International Biographical Centre (2009/10).
