| Dr. Suning Tang received his Ph.D. degree of Electrical Engineering in optoelectronic interconnects from the University of Texas at Austin, Texas (1994), a M.Sc. degree of Applied Physics in fiber optics from the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel (1989), and a B.Sc. degree of Electrical Engineering in laser devices from Nanjing Institute of Technology, China (1984). Dr. Tang worked as the vice president of switching technology of the Lightwaves 2020, Inc., Santa Clara, California, and the Photonic Engineering director at Digilens in Sunnyvale, California from 2000 to 2001. He was the co-founder and chief scientist of Radiant Research, Inc., Austin, Texas from 1995 to 2000. He worked for Crystal Semiconductors (Cirrus Logic) from 1991 to 1995. Dr. Tang has developed many polymer-based fiber-optic devices. Dr. Tang's research was selected by "Optics & Photonics News" as one of the principal advances in the field of optics in 1994. His work in the past 15 years includes optical interconnects, WDM devices, fiber-optic devices, optical modulators/switches, optical control of microwave signals, and semiconductor photonic devices. Dr. Tang was the guest editor of Optical Engineering in 2000-2001. He has served as a conference chairman for many international conferences in the area of optoelectronic interconnects and fiber-optic communications. He was the member of the executive organizing committee of Photonics West 2001. Dr. Tang has over one hundred publications in refereed journals and conferences, and five patents. Dr. Tang is a member of SPIE, OSA and IEEE. |
