Ching-Cherng Sun received his BS in electro-physics from National Chiao Tung University in 1988 and his Ph.D. in Optical Sciences, from National Central University, in Jan. 1993. In 1996, he joined the faculty of National Central University (NCU), Taiwan, and became a Full Professor in 2002, a Distinguished Professor in 2006, and Chair Professor in 2014. He served as the Director of the Innovation and Incubation Center from 2007-2009, the Chair of Department of Optics and Photonics from 2009-2012, and the Director of Optical Sciences Center in 2013-2017. In 2008, he served as the first Director of the Institute of Lighting and Display Science at NCU, which is the first lighting-related institute in Taiwan, and is aimed to support the new technology development in solid-state lighting and display for strongly related industry in Taiwan.
Prof. Sun was presented Optical Technology Contribution Award of the Optical Engineering Society of the Republic of China in 2006, the Industry Contribution Award for University by the Ministry of Economic Affair in 2009, the awards for Outstanding Technology to Industry, and the Outstanding Research Award by the National Science Council in 2009, the Outstanding Research Award by Taiwan Information Storage Association in 2012, the Invention Award for Photonics by Far Eastern Y. Z. Hsu Science and Technology Memorial Foundation in 2014, the Outstanding Research Award by the Ministry of Science and Technology in 2015, the Engineering Award of Taiwan Photonics Society (TPS) in 2018, the Engineering Award of Taiwan Information Storage Association (TISA) in 2022, and the FutureTech Award by the National Science Council in 2022. He is currently a Fellow of the International Society of Optical Engineering (SPIE, 2005) and Optical Society of America (OSA, 2009), was the Vice President (2013-2016) and the President of TPS (2019-2022), the Vice President of Taiwan Information Storage Industry Association (2019-2023), and a Board member of Taiwan Illumination Society. Prof. Sun was the Editor-in-Chief of Optical Engineering (by TPS, 2013-2016), was one of the Chief Editors of the Journal of Solid-State Lighting (by Springer, 2014-2016), and was an Associate Editor of Applied Optics (by OSA, 2011-2017). He is currently an Associate Editor of Optics Continuum, and an Editorial member of Scientific Reports, and Crystals. He serves as the Associate Dean of College of Science od NCU from 2023/2-2023/7.
Prof. Sun has authored and co-authored more than 180 refereed papers and is the inventor or co-inventor of more than 160 issued patents. He has been invited to give invited talks at more than 65 international conferences. His students were presented with more than 45 awards at various International Conference of Societies. His current major research includes MR glass, holography, holographic storage, volume holographic optical element, photorefractive devices, optical system, LED solid-state lighting, LED package, and optical design.
