Introduction

        Prof. Tseung-Yuen Tseng received his Ph.D. degree in electroceramics from the School of Materials Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, USA. He was briefly associated with the University of Florida, Gainesville, before joining National Chiao-Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, where he is now a Lifetime Chair Professor in the Institute of Electronics. He was the Dean of College of Engineering(2005-2007), the Vice Chancellor and University Chair Professor of the National Taipei University of Technology, Taipei, Taiwan(2007-2009).
        Dr. Tseng’s professional interests are electronic ceramics, nanoceramics, ceramic sensors, high-k dielectric films, ferroelectric thin films and their based devices, and resistive switching memory devices. He has published over 440 research papers in refereed international journals and 175 conference papers(over 80 keynote and invited talks), several book chapters, and held 36 patents. He invented the base metal multilayer ceramic capacitors, which have become large scale commercial product. He is an Editor of the Handbook of Nanoceramics and Their Based Nanodevices(5-Vol. set) and Nonvolatile Memories: Materials, Devices, and Applications(2-Vol. set), Guest Editor of a special issue of Ferroelectrics(6 Volumes), an Associate Editor of the Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology. He is Chair of the Board of Asian Ferroelectrics Association and General Chair of The 6th Asian Meeting of Ferroelectrics. He is a Chairperson, Session Chair, Keynote and Invited Speaker, and Member of Advisory Committee of many National and International Meetings. Dr. Tseng has received Distinguished Research Award from the National Science Council (1995-2001), Hou Chin-Tui Distinguished Honor Award (2002), Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Academic Award (2003), TECO Technology Award (2004), IEEE CPMT Exceptional Technical Achievement Award (2005), Distinguished Research Award of Pan Wen Yuan Foundation (2006) , Academic Award of Ministry of Education (2006), Medal of Chih-Hung Lu(2010), National Endowed Chair Professor(2011), IEEE CPMT Outstanding Sustained Technical Contribution Award(2012) and Distinguished Achievement Award of the Phi Tau Phi Scholastic Honor Society(2018). He was elected a Fellow of the American Ceramic Society in 1998, IEEE Fellow in 2002 ,MRS-T Fellow in 2009 and APAM Academician(2015).
