[edit] Biography

He received his BS in mathematics (cum laude) from The Ohio State University in 1977 and his MS and PhD in chemistry from Cornell University in 1979 and 1982, respectively.

He is a Fellow of the AVS(American Vacuum Society), IEEE^[1], and Hong Kong Institution of Engineers. He is the recipient of the 2007 IEEE NPSS Merit Award which is the most prestigious award given by IEEE in the areas of nuclear and plasma sciences.

He is Chairman of the International Plasma-Based Ion Implantation Executive Committee which organizes the biannual International Workshop on Plasma-Based Ion Implantation and Deposition (PBII&D). He is also a member of the Ion Implantation Technology (IIT) International Committee that organizes the biannual International Conference on Ion Implantation Technology and IEEE Executive Committee on Plasma Science and Applications (PSAC) that organizes the annual IEEE Conference on Plasma Science.

He holds or has held advisory or visiting professorship in ten universities and research institutes in China, including the Institute of Microelectronics in Peking University and Department of Physics in Nanjing University. He has established a joint PhD program with the University of Sydney in Australia and a similar joint PhD program between City University of Hong Kong and Tsinghua University, China.

Prof. Chu is senior editor of IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, associate editor of Materials Science and Engineering: Reports and International Journal of Plasma Science and Engineering, and a member of the editorial board of Surface and Interface Analysis, Recent Patents on Materials Science, and International Journal of Molecular Engineering.
