About Winston I. Way
Winston I. Way received his PhD from the University of Pennsylvania in 1983. From 1984 until 1992, he was wth Applied Research of Bellcore, researching various projects in lightwave systems and pioneering projects in distributing satellite, digital radio, and cable television signals by using subcarrier multiplex techniques. In 1992 he joined the Department of Communications Engineering at National Chiao-Tung University, where he is now a professor, and chair of the department. Dr. Way has published a book chapter and more than 90 referred technical papers in international journals and conferences, and has been serving as a chair or technical program committee member in numerous IEEE/LEOS and IEEE/MTT international conferences. A Senior member of IEEE, he was an IEEE Journal guest editor in 1990, and is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America.
