Background
Jung-Chih Chiao received his B.S. in the Department of
Electrical Engineering at the National Taiwan
University in 1988, his M.S. and his Ph.D. degrees in
the Electrical Engineering Department at the
California Institute of Technology in 1991 and 1995,
respectively. He served as a Research Scientist in the
Optical Networking Systems and Testbeds Group at Bell
Communications Research (Bellcore, now Telcordia) from
1995 to 1997. He joined the Department of Electrical
Engineering, University of Hawaii - Manoa
as an Assistant Professor in 1997 and became an
Adjunct Professor in 2001. J.C. joined Chorum
Technologies in 1999 as a Product Line Manager and
Senior Technology Advisor. Dr. Chiao joined the
Department of Electrical Engineering, University of
Texas at Arlington in September 2002 as an Associate
Professor.
Dr. Chiao has published 82 technical journal and
conference papers. He is one of the authors for the
book "Active and Quasi-Optical Arrays" and the editor
for the SPIE proceedings "Device and Process
Technologies for MEMS and Microelectronics." He holds
1 patent and 13 pending patents in RF MEMS, MEMS
optical and liquid crystal technologies.
Dr. Chiao was the chairman for the Device and Process
Technologies for MEMS and Microelectronics Conference
in the SPIE 2001 International Micro/MEMS Symposium
and the chairman for the Smart Sensors, Actuators and
MEMS Conference in the SPIE 2003 International
Symposium on Microtechnologies for the New Millennium.
He served in the technical committees of the APOC
Asia-Pacific Optical and Wireless Communications
Conferences, the Smart Structures and Materials
Conferences, the Society of Engineering Science
Nanofabrication and Nanodevices Symposium, and
participated in the Hawaii Center for Advanced
Communications.
Dr. Chiao's research interests include MEMS (microelectromechanical
system) RF and
