Dr. Ming-Tang Chen, Research Fellow, Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Academia Sinica
Dr. Ming-Tang Chen was born in Tainan, Taiwan, Republic of China. He received his BS
degree in physics from National Cheng Kung University in 1986. He studied the
phenomena concerning the phase transition in two-dimensional superfuids, and received
his MS & Ph.D. degrees in
physics from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1990 and 1993,
respectively. In 1995, he shifted his field and joined the Institute of Astronomy
& Astrophysics, Academia Sinica (ASIAA), to work on the Sub-Millimeter Array.
Since then, he built up ASIAA’s
technical branch and led the teams to establish the core technologies for
instrumentation. He has been the technical leader in most, if not all, radio
instrumentation projects. He has personally recruited and mentored half of the staff
in ASIAA’s technical groups and brought positive
impacts to ASIAA through completing projects in time and enabling scientific research
in the Submillimeter Array, Array for Microwave Background Anisotropy, Atacama Large
Millimeter Array, and the Greenland Telescope projects.
