Biography

Dr. Hong-Yih Tseng comes from Taiwan, Republic of China (ROC). He received his B.S.E.E. from Chung-Yuan Christian University (Chung-Li, Taiwan) in 1994. After his two-year military service as an ROC Army corporal, he began his graduate student life in 1997 and received his Ph. D from Institute of Electro-Optical Engineering, National Chiao-Tung University (Hsinchu, Taiwan) in 2003.

His Ph. D research focused on the propagation of optical solitons in nonlinear photonic bandgap structures; he also joined the fiber sensor project of Academic Excellent Program supported by ROC Ministry of Education from 2000 to 2003. After receiving his Ph.D, he was assigned as a research assistant professor of this project in Institute of Electro-Optical Engineering, National Chiao-Tung University from February 2003 to March 2004. He’s been a postdoctoral fellow in the Photonics Research Group of Georgia Institute of Technology since November 2004.

Dr. Tseng currently is working on the study of active photonic crystal devices. His research interests include the slow light and quantum electrodynamics based on photonic crystal nanostructures. He is also interested in the theoretical study on quantum interference effects like electromagnetically induced transparency.
