NCKU professor Shoou-Jinn Chang named IEEE Fellow
Tainan, Taiwan, December 24, 2013
National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) Department of Electrical Engineering Distinguished Professor Dr. Shoou-Jinn Chang has been named Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Fellow in 2014 in recognition of his research contributions in the field of nano-photonics, nano-electronics and light-emitting diodes (LED), the university revealed recently.
Dr. Chang was also named the Optical Society (OSA) Fellow and the International Society for Optics and Photonics (SPIE) Fellow just only last year. Hence, to be named IEEE Fellow this year is no mean feat for Dr. Chang.
Upon receiving this honor, Dr. Chang dedicated this honor to his colleagues and expressed utmost gratitude to the people who have given him support and assistance. He stressed that this honor not only is of his own, but is also the collective outcome of their hard work.
Dr. Chang graduated with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from NCKU Department of Electrical Engineering and a doctoral degree in electrical engineering from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
His main research field includes the production, material growth, measurement and performance improvement of numerous opto-electronics semiconductor devices such as LED, laser diodes, photo-detectors, solar cells and so on.
Regarding his latest achievement, Dr. Chang would continue to work on nano-related research in order to benefit the domestic industry in Taiwan.
“To love something you do makes life easier and ensure one is determined to stick to it,” Dr. Chang replied with a smile as he said that he views every obstacle faced in his research as a “happy” challenge.
Previously, Dr. Chang has proposed the use of indium tin oxide (ITO), which significantly enhances the brightness of gallium nitride (GaN) LEDs by 35-40%, to replace the traditional nickel/gold conductive electrode, as written in his journal article titled “Highly reliable nitride based L.E.D.s with SPS+ITO upper contacts” published in the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, Volume 39 in 2003.
Recently, Dr. Chang proposed the defect-selective etching method to further enhance the output power of GaN LEDs as presented in his journal article titled “Nitride-based LEDs with phosphoric acid etched undercut sidewalls” published in the IEEE Photonics Technology Letters Volume 21 in 2009.
These two methods proposed by Dr. Chang have been widely adopted as the standard process to produce GaN LEDs.
In the past 20 years, Dr. Chang has published over 600 SCI-rated academic journal articles in related field. According to Web of Science journal database, six of Dr. Chang’s published journal articles has been cited for more than 100 times and his h-index is currently 39, showing that 39 of his journal articles have been cited 39 times or more.
Meanwhile, four of the top 10 most cited GaN LED-related journal articles in Taiwan are written by Dr. Chang and his research team and two of Dr. Chang’s journal articles have been selected by Thomson Reuters Essential Science Indicators (ESI) as highly cited papers.
Also, Dr. Chang’s journal papers have been ranked number 9 on average in the field of GaN LED according to the website of Engineering Village (EI), the engineering-related journal paper database.
With IEEE being the most important and the biggest electrical and electronic engineering society in the world, IEEE Fellow is presented to scholars with the most important contributions in different fields with a probability of one out of a thousand IEEE members.
The number of journal articles published in IEEE journals and the number of scholars named IEEE Fellow are commonly seen as two of the important indicators to evaluate academic standards for fields such as electrical and electronic engineering.
