Shen Shou Max Chung (M’03) was born in Ping Dong, Taiwan, R.O.C., in 1961. He graduated from the Department of Electrophysics, National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C., in 1984 and received the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering and the Ph.D. degree in Electrophysics from Polytechnic University, New York, in 1988 and 1993. His Ph.D. work involved high-power plasma switches and Monte Carlo plasma simulation of streamers.

He was a Research Assistant with the Weber Research Institute, Polytechnic University from 1987 to 1993. He joined the Physics Department of Stevens Institute of Technology as a Post-doctoral Researcher from 1993 to 1994. He joined the Department of Electronic Engineering of the Cheng Kuo Institute of Technology as Assistant Professor in 2001 and the Department of Electronic Engineering of Southern Taiwan University of Technology as Assistant Professor from 2002 to 2011. Since then he has been working as a Post-doctoral Researcher at National Tsing Hua University, National Central University, and National Yang Ming University. Next he worked as a consultant for Hong Song Limited, and Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Aviation and Communication Electronics of Air Force Institute of Technology, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. Since February 2019 he joins the Department of Electrical Engineering of National Penghu University of Science and technology, Penghu, Taiwan.

His research interests include pulsed power; plasma simulation; high-power microwaves; railguns; carbon nanotubes; nanoimprint; display; electrospinning; THz waves; remote sensing; radar; RF stealth; and stimulated emission microscopy.
