In addition, since 2022, he has served as the Director of the Quantum Information Center and the Fujitsu DAU Quantum Computing Center at Chung Yuan Christian University.
Prof. Chang has worked in micromagnetic numerical modeling since 1980s. He not only carried out pioneering static studies of micromagnetic structures in the early 80s but also was one of the first to apply the Landau-Lifschitz equation to sub-nanosecond analysis in the 1990s. Prof. Chang has made very significant scientific contributions and had great impact on the understanding of nucleation, spin dynamics and thermal activation of magnetic materials, also recently spin transport in low dimensional materials. He served as Presidents of both Taiwanese Physical Society and Taiwan Associations of Magnetic Technologies. He is both APS and IEEE Fellows. He was Committee member for IEEE Magnetic Society and Chair of Taipei Chapter. He also was General Chair of IEEE InterMag 2011 in Taipei. He has authored more than 280 papers published and held more than 28 magnetic related patents. He was awarded of Quantum 100 from UNESCO at International Year of quantum sciences and technology.
He was director of NTU-IBM quantum computer hub and the Chair of quantum computer promotion office, MOST. Prof. Chang also Founded the Taiwan Association of Quantum Computer and Information Technologies and he is the President. Recently he published a popular science book “Tiny quantum, Giant revolution” and gave more than hundred popular talks in quantum technology.
