Biography

King Yuk (Eric), Chan was born in Hong Kong, China, on November 21, 1981. He received the B.Sc. (with honors 1) and M.EngSc. degrees from the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia in 2005 and 2006, all in electrical engineering. He recieved a Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering under a joint project between University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the Center for Integrated RF Engineering (CIRFE), University of Waterloo, Canada, where he was involved in the area of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) switch and tunable filter development for RF/microwave applications in 2010. From 2007 to 2008, he was also working as a research assistant at CIRFE, University of Waterloo. He recieved a Postdoctoral Fellowship from UNSW at 2010. He is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at CSIRO ICT Centre. His research interest includes RF MEMS, reconfigurable RF and mm-wave devices and systems, reconfigurable antennas and frequency selective surfaces and passive and active RF and mm-wave circuits.
