Shyh-Chiang Shen received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2001. He is a key contributor to high-cycle low-voltage radio-frequency (RF) microelectromechanical system (MEMS) switches, GaAs metal-semiconductor field effect transistors (MESFETs), and millimeter-wave integrated circuits (MMICs). He spent his early career at Xindium Technologies from 2000 to 2004, where he developed proprietary commercial-grade InP single-heterojunction bipolar transistor (SHBT) technology and led the demonstration of monolithically integrated 40Gb/s PIN+TIA differential-output optical receivers. Dr. Shen joined the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2005 as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Full Professor in 2018. His research has yielded 8 awarded U.S. patents, 5 book chapters, and over 170 publications in refereed journals and conferences, alongside numerous invited seminar talks. He edited the book entitled 'Nitride Semiconductor LEDs' (2nd Ed., October 2017). His current research focuses on wide bandgap semiconductor (WBG) microelectronics and optoelectronic devices, emphasizing the study of physical devices, fabrication, processing technique development, and device characterizations.
