Antao Chen is a Senior Scientist with Applied Physics Laboratory and Associate Professor with Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Washington. He received B.S. and M.Eng. degrees from Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing, China, in 1983 and 1989, respectively, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, in 1995 and 1998, respectively. He has worked in both the optical industry and academia since 1983.
Dr. Chen has worked on electro-optic waveguide modulators based on electro-optic polymer, lithium niobate, and silicon nanostructures. In 1997, he demonstrated the first electro-optic polymer modulator that operates at frequencies above 100 GHz. At Lucent Bell Laboratories, Dr. Chen developed lithium niobate optical cross-connect switches. That technology was key to the success of the MONET project, which won the 1999 Bell Labs President Gold Award. He also led the development of a high performance lithium niobate electro-optic polarization controller product, which won the 2001 Photonics Circle of Excellence Award as one of the top 15 new products of the photonics industry. His current areas of research include free space, integrated, and fiber optics for information transmission and processing, chemical and environmental sensing using photonics and nano-electronics, micro- and nano-fabrication, and propagation and scattering of terahertz waves.
