Dr. Sheng-Lung Huang (黃升龍) received the B.S. degree from the Department of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University, in 1986, and the M.S. and Ph.D. from the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Maryland, College Park, in 1990 and 1993, respectively. He has been awarded the Quanta Chair Professor since 2025.
He joined the Graduate Institute of Photonics and Optoelectronics (GIPO) and the Department of Electrical Engineering at National Taiwan University in 2006 and is now a Distinguished Professor. Starting in 2007, he served as the Chairman of GIPO for 3 years. He was also a guest professor at the Abbe School of Photonics, Friedrich-Schiller University of Jena, Germany, in 2014. Before joining National Taiwan University, he served as Chairman of the Institute of Electro-Optical Engineering at National Sun Yat-Sen University from 2003 to 2005.
Dr. Huang’s research interests are in crystalline fiber-based devices and their applications. He pioneered the development of cellular-resolution optical coherence tomography and has utilized it clinically for the early diagnosis of cancer and various diseases. His work on crystal fiber-based devices and applications has been invited to more than 80 international conference talks, including the OSA Biophotonics Congress, the Optical Fiber Conference (OFC), the IEEE LEOS annual meeting, and SPIE Photonics West, among others. In 2014, he co-founded Apollo Medical Optics (AMO) and has served as Chief Technology Officer and Chief Science Officer. The AMO won the National Innovation Award in 2020.
Dr. Huang is a Fellow of the OPTICA (formerly OSA). He was a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Photonics Society, 2022/2023. He was the Chairman of the IEEE/LEOS (now IEEE/PS) Taipei Chapter from 2005 to 2006. He was a steering board member of the European Master of Science in Photonics (EMSP). Dr. Huang has organized several international conferences and workshops, including OECC 2011 and the 2nd BioPhotonics 2013. Dr. Huang was Associate Editor of the IEEE Photonics Journal and a Topical Editor of Optics Letters for 6 years (2005–2011). He was a Guest Editor for the Taiwan Photonics Society Quarterly in 2008.
Dr. Huang has received the Outstanding Research Award from the National Science and Technology Council in 2017 and 2024, and the University/Industry Cooperation Award from the Ministry of Education. He has also been jointly awarded Chimei Innovation Excellence Award and Optical Communications Elite Award.
