    Biography

    Lian-Kuan Chen received his BSc degree from National Taiwan University in 1983 and MSc and PhD degree from Columbia University in 1987 and 1992 respectively, all in electrical engineering.  He worked at Jerrold Communication, General Instruments (GI), USA in 1990-1991 and engaged in research on linear lightwave video distribution systems, with contributions on the distortion reduction schemes for various optical components. He joined the Department of Information Engineering, the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1992 and initiated the Lightwave Communications Laboratory. He served as the Head of Department from Jan 2004 to Jul 2006. His current interests include broadband local access, photonic signal processing, performance management of optical networks, and bio-photonics. He is grateful that most of his projects have been supported by the research grants of Hong Kong SAR government. He has published more than 180 papers in international conferences and journals. He is currently an Associate Editor of the IEEE Photonics Technology Letters. For his name (Chinese) sake, he believes that he will continue to engage in the photonic research in the foreseeable future.
