Biography
Tai-Chang Chen is teaching faculty in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, where he has offered more than 14 different undergraduate and graduate courses. Chen has been involved in developing new curricula for various universities and has also worked to develop the format of lecture-based online courses. He has implemented a PC-USB interface for laboratory instruments, which allows students in an online learning environment benefit from hands-on laboratory experiences.
Chen has worked in the Electrical Engineering Microfabrication Lab as the Lab manager, and was in charge of III-V nitride semiconductor MOCVD laboratory. His research interest is in the development of micro/nano-technology for interdisciplinary engineering and scientific applications in material science, thin films, sensors on a chip, and wearable sensors and sensor systems.
