Biography
T. P. Chen received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in physics (semiconductors and devices) in 1983 and 1987, respectively, both from Zhongshan (Sun Yat-Sen) University, China, and the Ph.D. degree from The University of Hong Kong in 1994. He is currently an Associate Professor in Division of Microelectronics, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. From Feb. 1990 to Oct.1991, he was a visiting researcher at the Fritz-Haber Institute of Max-Planck Society, Germany. In the years of 1994 to 1997, he was a postdoctoral fellow in The University of Hong Kong and the National University of Singapore, and he also worked in Chartered Semiconductor Manufacturing Ltd for a short period (June – December 1996). He was a senior scientist at PSB Singapore for about two and half years before he joined Nanyang Technological University as an assistant professor in February 2000. He has > 380 technical publications (including > 260 journal papers and > 120 conference presentations), one book and 6 book chapters. He has filed 9 U.S. patents and 8 Technology Disclosures. He has supervised & co-supervised > 25 PhD students (including graduated and current students) and > 20 research staff (including > 10 postdoctoral research staff). He is a PI & Co-PI of >15 research projects (total grant > S$19M). He taught the following undergraduate/postgraduate courses (lectures or tutorials) in the past many years: E446/EE4646 VLSI Technology; EE6601 Advanced Wafer Processing; EE4613 CMOS Process and Device Simulation; EE8067 Ceramics in History, Arts, Gemstones, Environment, andModern Life; E412/E425/EE4612 Wafer Fabrication and Device Measurement; E202 Analogue Electronics; E281/EE2003 Semiconductor Fundamentals; E313 Integrated Circuits & Semiconductor Processing Technology; EE3003 Integrated Electronics; EE1008 Computing.
