Nan-Kuang Chen joined the School of Physics Science and Information Technology, Liaocheng University, China, as a professor in 2018. He has been invited to be a PhD student cosupervisor for IIT, Dhanbad in India since September 2016, as well as an SPIE Travelling Lecturer in 2015 and 2017. He has authored and coauthored more than 230 international SCI journal and conference articles. He has been invited to deliver 40 invited talks and 1 keynote talk at international conferences (including IEEE Photonics North, OECC, CLEO-PR, ACP, and CIOP) and organize three international conferences (IAPTC 2011, IEEE/ICAIT 2013, and IEEE/ICICN 2019). He holds 14 Taiwan patents, 12 US patents, 1 Korea patent, and 4 PRC patents. His research interests include micro- and nanofiber sensors, micro-optical forces (van der Wall’s force and the evanescent attractive force) and microsensing applications, the dispersion engineering technique, Cr3+-doped fiber amplifiers, large-core high-power fiber lasers, and mode-locked femtosecond fiber lasers.
