Biography

Ching-Ting Lee received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in the Electrical Engineering Department of the National Cheng Kung University, Taiwan, in 1972 and 1974, respectively. He received his Ph.D. degree from the Electrical Engineering Department from the Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, in 1982.

He worked at Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology, before he joined the Institute of Optical Sciences, National Central University, Chung-Li, Taiwan, as a professor in 1990. He joined on National Cheng Kung University as the Dean of the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from 2003 to 2009, and was the chair professor at the Institute of Microelectronics, Department of Electrical Engineering of the National Cheng Kung University. Now, he is the chair professor and vice president in Yuan Ze University. 

Among the awards and honors, he has received are Fellow of IEEE and Fellow of IET; the Outstanding Research Professor Fellowship from the National Science Council (NSC), Taiwan; Distinguished Service Award from Institute of Electrical Engineering Society; the Optical Engineering Medal from Optical Engineering Society; Distinguish Electrical Engineering professor award from Chinese Institute of Electrical Engineering Society, and Distinguish Engineering professor award from the Chinese Institute of Engineers. He received the ASIA’s Education Excellence Awards from Le Meridien Singapore. 

His current research interests include nano materials and devices, biosensors, light emission of Si nanoclusters, nanostructure of solar cells, GaN-based light-emitting diodes and lasers, and GaN-based field effect transistors. His research activities have also investigated III-V semiconductor lasers, photodetectors and high-speed electronic devices, and their associated integration for electro-optical integrated circuits.
