Seminar on "Energy Harvesting and Self-powered Sensor Technology"

Chengkuo Lee received the M.S. degree in materials science and engineering from National Tsing Ha University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1991; the M.S. degree in industrial and system engineering from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, USA, in 1993; and the Ph.D. degree in precision engineering from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, in 1996. He was a Foreign Researcher with the Nanometer Scale Manufacturing Science Laboratory, Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Tokyo, from 1993 to 1996. He was with the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, AIST, MITI, Tsukuba, Japan, as a JST Research Fellow, in 1996. Thereafter, he became a Senior Research Staff Member with the Microsystems Laboratory, Industrial Technology Research Institute, Hsinchu. In 1997, he joined Metrodyne Microsystem Corporation, Hsinchu, and established the MEMS Device Division and the first micromachining fab for commercial purposes in Taiwan. He was the Manager of the MEMS Device Division from 1997 to 2000. He was an Adjunct Assistant Professor with the Electrophysics Department, National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, in 1998, and the Institute of Precision Engineering, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan, from 2001 to 2005. In 2001, he co-founded Asia Pacific Microsystems, Inc., where he first became the Vice President of Research and Development before becoming as the Vice President of the Optical Communication Business Unit and a Special Assistant to the Chief Executive Officer in charge of international business and technical marketing for the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) foundry service. From 2006 to 2009, he was a Senior Member of the Technical Staff with the Institute of Microelectronics, A-STAR, Singapore. He is currently an Associate Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and the director of center for intelligent sensors and MEMS (CISM), National University of Singapore, Singapore. He is Executive Editor Board of J Micromechanics and Microeng. (IOP, UK), Editor of Scientific Reports, and Associate editor of Journal of Micro/Nanolithography, MEMS and MOEMS (JM3; SPIE). He has co-authored the books Advanced MEMS Packaging (McGraw-Hill, 2010), Micro and Nano Energy Harvesting Technologies (Artech House, 2014). He has contributed to more than 280 internationalconference papers and extended abstracts, and 220 peer-reviewed internationaljournal articles in the fields of sensors, actuators, energy harvesting, MEMS,NEMS, nanophotonics, and nanotechnology. He holds nine U.S. patents.
