Kwang-Cheng Chen received B.S. from the National Taiwan University in 1983, M.S. and Ph.D from the University of Maryland, College Park, United States, in 1987 and 1989, all in electrical engineering. From 1987 to 1991, Dr. Chen worked with SSE, COMSAT, and IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in mobile communication networks. During 1991 to 1998, he was with the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, ROC. Since 1998, Dr. Chen has been with the Institute of Communication Engineering and Department of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC, and he is the Distinguished Professor and Irving T. Ho Chair Professor now. He was a visiting scientist with Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in California USA during 1997 and a visiting Professor at the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, 1998.

Dr. Chen was adjunctly appointed by the Executive Yuan Science and Technology Advisory Group to plan Taiwan's communication and networking technologies during 1998-2002, and was also appointed by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications as a member of Telecommunication Commentary Board from 2001 to 2006. Dr. Chen actively involves the technical organization of numerous leading IEEE conferences, including as the Technical Program Committee Chair of 1996 IEEE International Symposium on Personal Indoor Mobile Radio Communications, TPC co-chair for IEEE GLOBECOM 2002, General Co-Chair for 2007 IEEE Mobile WiMAX Symposium in Orlando, USA, and General co-chair for IEEE 2010 Spring Vehicular Technology Conference. He has served editorship with the following prestigious international journals: IEEE Transaction on Communications, IEEE Communications Letters, IEEE Communication Surveys, IEEE Personal Communications Magazine, International Journal of Wireless Information Networks, IEEE Journal on Selected Area in Communications, ACM/Blatzer Journal on Wireless Networks, Wireless Personal Communications, Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing, Frontier of Communication and Information Theory, etc. He has been a voting member for IEEE 802.11 (wireless LANs), IEEE 802.15 (Wireless Personal Area Networks), IEEE 802.14 (HFC modem) and IEEE 802.16 (Wireless MAN) international standard working groups, and participating US TIA45.5 CDMA Cellular standard, ETSI SMG2 cellular standard, and ITU-R TG8/1 IMT-2000 (3G) standard, and was Vice Chair WWRF SIG3 2006-7. He has authored and co-authored over 200 technical papers and 17 granted/pending US patents. He co-edits the book Mobile WiMAX to be published by Wiley in Feb, 2008, and authors another book Principles of Communications to be published by River 2Q2008. Dr. Chen was elected as an IEEE Fellow in 2006 (though ComSoc for the contributions to wireless broadband communications and wireless local area networks, one of Ten Outstanding Young Engineers in 1994, one of Ten Outstanding Young Persons (the most prestigious achievement award for people under age 40 in Taiwan) in 1996, NSC Excellent Research Award in 2000, ISI Citation Classic Award for high-impact research in 2001, Outstanding Engineering Professor in 2002, and listed in the 15th edition Marquis Who's Who in the World in 1998 and Who's Who in Industry in 1999, and was the IEEE Communication Society Asia Pacific Board Director during 2002-2003. Dr. Chen's research interests include wireless communications, and cognitive/nano communication and computation.


   

Phone Lin (M'02-SM'06) received his BSCSIE degree and Ph.D. degree from National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, R.O.C. in 1996 and 2001, respectively.
