Profile of Prof. Cheng-Chung Lee —2018-04-26
Professor Cheng-Chung Lee received his BS and MS degrees in physics from Cheng-Kung University, Taiwan, and PhD degree from Optical Sciences Center, University of Arizona, USA in 1969, 1974 and 1983, respectively. Prof. Lee returned to Taiwan after his PhD, at a time when the thin-film industry in Taiwan was quite undeveloped. With his experiences and endeavors, he almost single handedly transformed the industry into a viable sector that is able to support the impressive advances in optics and optoelectronics. This result was assured by his remarkable efforts with the enthusiasm and encouragement. His work plays as an important role to the progress of optics and photonics in Taiwan and also in the world. The press in Taiwan has dramatically described him as the "Father of Optical Coatings." Actually with him, the industry is able to catch up and compete with the thin-film industry anywhere else in the world.
In the National Central University (NCU), he is an outstanding professor. Besides dedicating to the research of thin film optics, coating processes and interferometry, he also devoted to the general education. He have raised funds for a new building and founded the Department of Optics and Photonics and Thin Film Technology Center, facilitated student exchange programs between NCU and College of Optics Sciences, U of A, USA. Up to date, he has mentored more than 200 MS and 32 PhD., published more than 200 journal papers, 400 conference papers (30 Invited talks, 8 Keynote Speakers or Plenary Speakers), encouraged students to contribute to optical society (as adviser of SPIE Student Chapter & OSA Student Chapter at NCU), offered 2 to 3-day intensive course 84 times for more than 2600 people and inspired middle high school students to study optics and photonics through one-day tutoring for more than 400 students.
In addition, Prof. Lee has been instrumental in the internationalization of Taiwan’s vacuum and optical engineering community. In 1998 while serving as the president of Taiwan Vacuum Society (TVS), he collaborated with the Vacuum Society of Japan and Australia to organized Vacuum and Surface Sciences Conference of Asia and Australia (VASSCAA). In the years 2007, 2008, and 2010, while serving as the convener of the National Science Council (NSC) and president of the Taiwan Photonics Society (TPS), he transformed the annual conference on Optics and Photonics in Taiwan from a domestic event to an international one and named it as Optics & Photonics Taiwan International Conference, OPTIC. Furthermore, he was designated by the Optical Society of America (OSA) as the co-organizer of the 2011 International optics and photonics conference in Taiwan. These endeavors have considerably boosted the international visibility of Taiwan’s optical engineering research, and bridged the international community and inland researchers, and then many professors’ researches have been recognized by the international optical community and at least 12 professors were honored as fellows by SPIE and/or OSA.
Prof. Lee is SPIE Fellow and OSA Fellow, and has serviced as Chair of SPIE Fellows Committee in 2011 & 2012. Now he is the emeritus, honorary chair professor, NCU. He is also a chair professor of the National Chung Hsing University and Feng Chia University. He was honored as the recipient of 2016 SPIE Educator Award. Prof. Lee believes that education is very important and is the best way to make the human civilization progress to the correct direction. He said that knowledge is not knowledge unless it has been shared with others and wisdom is not wisdom unless it can inspire others. The correct technology shall be able to improve human well-being while without damage the nature. For guiding, educating, developing and inspiring the optical coating industry in Taiwan for over 30 years and serving as a key figure in its growth and success, he was honored as the recipient of 2018 OSA Sang Soo Lee Award.
