Dr. Chi-Wai Chow received the B.Eng. (First-Class Hons) and Ph.D. degrees both from the Department of Electronic Engineering, the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) in 2001 and 2004 respectively. His Ph.D. focused on optical label controlled packet switched networks. After graduation, he was appointed as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the CUHK, working on hybrid integration of photonic components and silicon waveguides. Between 2005-2007, he was a Postdoctoral Research Scientist, working mainly on two European Union Projects: PIEMAN (Photonic Integrated Extended Metro and Access Network) and TRIUMPH (Transparent Ring Interconnection Using Multi-wavelength PHotonic switches) in the Tyndall National Institute and Department of Physics, University College Cork (UCC) in Ireland. In August 2007, he joined the Department of Photonics, National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan, as an Assistant Professor. He is now a Full Professor in the same department.
