photonics, optical engineering, and optical networking field. He has
published more than 280 scientific and industrial papers to date. Prior to
founding DenseLight Semiconductors, Dr. Lam was a professor in the Nanyang
Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, where he headed & directed
the 150 staff of the Microelectronics Division. Dr. Lam was instrumental in
building the university's Photonics Research Group and secured industrial
grants of more than $22 million for over 50 projects. Having served in the
Office of the University's President, he contributed insightful growth to
NTU's position as the University of the Industry. He was also invited to
sit on the NTU Council (Univ. board of governors) representing all academic
staff from '97-'98.
Being aware of industrial trends and recognizing the demands of Singapore
as a manufacturing center for wafer processing, Dr. Lam established a
Masters course on microelectronics wafer fabrication in NTU. Identifying
photonics sciences as critical industry driver, he introduced postgraduate
courses in photonics. Working with industrial leaders in Singapore, he was
also instrumental in the formation of the Singapore Center of Photonics
Excellence to generate comprehensive nation wide infrastructure to drive
synergistic growth of optical IP expertise. This resulted in rapid
attraction of many photonics business interest to the country including the
inaugural SPIE conference ISPA-99 & ISMA2000, which Dr. Lam was the
Symposium Chairman.
Before joining NTU, Dr. Lam headed R&D and established the
manufacturing operations for building automation products at Rank
O'Connors. As CTO of DenseLight, Dr. Lam led focused teams championing the
development of wafer processing and test & packaging manufacturing
technologies to deliver market oriented photonics products.
Dr. Lam received his Bachelors in Engineering degree with first class honors
in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Masters degree in Industrial
Engineering from the National University of Singapore. He also holds a MSE
degree and a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of
Michigan.

Yuen-Chuen
Chan, Vice President Engineering (Photonics)
Prior to co-founding DenseLight Semiconductors, Dr Chan was professor in
NTU and was the coordinator of the university's Photonics Research Group.
He managed the university's photonic devices fabrication Lab and within a
short span of 2.5yrs, expanded facilities into a cluster to service
industrial programs and published more than 180 scientific and industrial
papers.
Dr Chan brings deep expertise in industrial device fabrication development,
component structural design, opto-electronic epitaxial and grating
re-growth. With experience dating back to University of Tokyo, Dr Chan did
the then pioneering work developing the tensile strained quantum well
growth technique on GaAs for polarization insensitive optical modulation.
In NTU, he won many industrial funding programs and led large-scale project
teams for photonics device research and manufacturing fabrication. These
programs include epitaxial growth by MBE, MOCVD and LPE and characterization
of quantum well structures, laser diodes, optical modulators,
photo-detectors and PICs. His accomplished experience in leading
fabrication teams resulted in DenseLight owning significant structure
fabrication competence IP and the capability to rapidly rollout PIC
product.
Dr Chan pursued his education as a distinguished Public Service Commission
Monbusho Scholar and received his B.Eng, M.Eng and PhD degrees in
