Professor Ho Bun Chan obtained his BA degree with highest honors (1993) from Princeton University and his PhD degree (1999) from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. He was a postdoc at Bell Laboratories from 1999 to 2000. In 2001, he became a member of the technical staff. From 2004 to 2009, he was an assistant professor in the Department of Physics at University of Florida, Gainesville, USA. In 2009 he became an associate professor. He joined the Department of Physics of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2010. He received the Outstanding Young Researcher Award by the Overseas Chinese Physics Association in 2008.
