Chinlon Lin, Ph.D.,
Chair of the Technical Advisory Team
Dr. Lin is currently a Nanyang (Chair) Professor at School of EEE, Nanyang Tech. A Fellow of IEEE and OSA, he serves as the Associate Editor of J. Lightwave Tech. and Optical Letters. Having long worked in the lightwave and photonics technology field, he invented the tunable fiber Raman lasers, and both dispersion-shifted fibers (DSF) and dispersion-compensating fibers (DCF) in Bell Laboratories, AT&T. He also initiated the idea of hybrid DWDM during his post as the Director of Broadband Lightwave Systems Research, Bellcore. Moreover, he has published more than 200 journal papers and was the co-chair, session chairs, tutorial speaker of various international conferences, including OFC and ECOC. Dr. Lin received his Ph. D. from University of California, Berkeley, MS from University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, and his BSEE from National Taiwan University of Taiwan.
Giora Griffel, Ph.D.,
Member of the Technical Advisory Team
Prior to joining ALViS, he founded and served as the president of Guide Lines Communication Inc., which developed novel wavelength quenching technologies. He was also with Polytechnic University of New York, Sarnoff Cooperation, and Princeton Lightwave in developing novel semiconductor lasers and Raman Amplifiers. He has published more than 40 journal papers and was the co-chair of several international conferences. Dr. Griffel received both B.S. and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Tel-Aviv University, Ramat-Aviv, Israel, and was a post-Doctoral fellow working with Professor Amon Yariv at the Department of Applied Physics, California Institute of Technology, California.
Chih-Hsiao Chen, Ph.D.
President
Before assuming the post of President of ALViS, Dr. Chen was an assistant Professor of the Graduate Institute of Optoelectronics, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology. Prior his academic career, he has 12 years of industry R&D and Business Development experiences in the fields of semiconductor lasers, integrated photonics and relative applications in Bell Laboratories, TrueLight Cooperation, Accton Technologies, and DELTA Electronics. He has published more than 10 journal papers, including one invited paper of Journal of Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics. Dr. Chen received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Polytechnic University, New York; and a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. He also holds an EMBA in Innovation and Technology Management from National Chengchi University, Taiwan.
