Dong Hou received a B.Sc. degree in electronic engineering from the North China University of Technology, Beijing, China, in 2004, and a Ph.D. in electronic engineering from Peking University, Beijing, in 2012. From 2004 to 2007, he worked for E-world and Lenovo Corporations, respectively, as a senior electronic engineer. From 2012 to 2014, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Peking University, Beijing, China. From 2014 to 2015, he was a postdoctoral research associate at the University of Colorado Boulder and the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics (JILA), Boulder, USA. From 2015 to 2016, he was a senior visiting scholar at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Daejeon, South Korea. He is now an associate professor of the School of Automation Engineering at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, China. He is the author or co-author of more than 50 journal articles and 30 conference papers. His current research interests include highly stable time-frequency transfer over fiber and free-space links, timing jitter/phase noise measurement of mode-locked lasers, and stabilization techniques for optical frequency comb with ultra-low noise.
