陳德玉 Dan Chen

Dan Chen received his BSEE Degree from National Chiao Tung University in Taiwan in 1969

and Ph.D Degree from Duke University in 1975.

From 1975 to 1979, he worked for GE corporate research center at Schecnectady,

NY, USA working on power electronics applications including power semiconductor device characterization,

electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamp, electric car, and switching power supply

applications for computer and communication equipments.

From 1979 to June 2003, he was with the EE department of Virginia Tech., first as an assistant professor

and later as a full professor. He was a core faculty of the prestigious National Science Foundation Center of

Excellency in Power Electronic Systems established in Virginia Tech from 1998 to 2003. In 1986, he co-founded

 Motion Control System Inc. in Virginia and served as consultant until 2002. Since September 2003, he has

been with National Taiwan University EE dept. as a full professor and an endowed chair by Taiwan’s National

Science Council.

He has published one IEEE-press book in 1984 “Power Transistors and Their Applications”,

over one hundred papers, one tutorial article “Power Semiconductors Devices, tough, fast and

Compact” in 1987 in the prestigious IEEE Spectrum magazine, and holds seven US patents all

in the field of power electronics. He has co-received IEEE Aerospace Society Barry Carlton award in 1975,

and also co-received the 1998 society best paper award of IEEE Power Electronics Society.

His research interest includes power electronics circuits, controls, power semiconductor

device characterization, EMI in switching circuits, and more recently power ICs. He is an IEEE Fellow.
