Since joining the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore in the School of EEE in 1995, he has held several key appointments including Head of the Microelectronics Division, Founding Programme Manager of the MMIC Design Centre at the Temasek Laboratories@NTU (TL@NTU) and Director of the Silicon Centre of Excellence (SiCOE). In 2000, he co-founded DenseLight Semiconductor Pte Ltd. which is a NTU spin-off company. Currently, he holds joint appointment with the A*Star Institute of Microelectronics serving as the Executive Director of the National Semiconductor Translation and Innovation Centre (GaN), formerly known as the National GaN Technology Centre (NGTC). He also holds concurrent appointments as the Programme Director of the Centre for Microsystem Technologies (CMT) at the Temasek Laboratories@NTU and the Director of the Centre for Micro- and NanoElectronics (CMNE) in the School of EEE.

His current research specializations include (1) Gallium Nitride (GaN) High-Electron-Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) and (2) III-V compound semiconductor devices for high-frequency and Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) applications. He has authored and coauthored more than 300 international journal and conference papers and delivered plenary and invited talks at several international conferences. He holds two granted patents and 5 filed patents.

In 2007, he was awarded the prestigious Singapore’s Defense Technology Prize for his outstanding technological contributions in MMIC R&D. He is also the recipient of the 2023 Singapore Defence Technology Prize – Individual (R&D) Award for the significant technological contributions in building up Singapore’s indigenous R&D capabilities in Gallium Nitride MMIC technologies for defence applications.
