Borching Su (Bor-Ching Su)

Borching Su (蘇柏青) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Graduate Institute of Communication Engineering at National Taiwan University. Born in Tainan in 1978, he represented Taiwan at the International Mathematical Olympiad in 1994 and 1995, winning bronze medals both years, then earned B.S. (1999) and M.S. (2001) degrees at NTU and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at Caltech (2008), where his blind-channel-estimation thesis won the Charles H. Wilts prize. After working on WiMax baseband at NextWave Broadband in San Diego, he joined NTU in 2009. His research spans signal processing for communications, 5G waveform and transceiver design, and massive-MIMO beamforming/precoding. He is a co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of Tron Future Tech (創未來科技), a Taiwan defense/aerospace startup building phased-array radar, anti-drone and satellite-communication systems, which raised a $29m Series A in May 2024.

• Tron Future raised a ~US$29m Series A in May 2024, with institutional investors including Taiwania Capital, the CID Group, ITIC and Ta Ya Venture Capital.May 2024
• Third co-founder Chun-Yang Chen (Scott Chen) did radar signal processing at Caltech and worked at Facebook/Instagram and later became Grindr CEO; the three Caltech friends anchored Tron Future's founding team.2024
• Tron Future Tech builds phased-array radar, anti-drone and satellite-communication systems; Su is its Chief Technology Officer, on leave from NTU.2023
• Represented Taiwan at IMO 1994 (Hong Kong), scoring 24/42 and winning bronze; teammates included Ho-Lin Chen and Chung-Chieh Shan.Jul 1994
• Public contact for research/teaching is [contact omitted] / [private detail omitted] (office MD-516, NTU EE); the personal email also appears in his arXiv and IEEE papers.2026
• Listed as an inventor on Tron Future patents including an antenna package structure (US 12418103) and an RF phased-array detector (EP4672621), alongside Yu-Jiu Wang - his radar R&D converts directly into the company's IP.2024
• He and Tron Future co-founder/CEO Yu-Jiu Wang (王毓駒) are both Caltech Ph.D.s and NTU EE classmates one year apart; their long research collaboration is the origin story of the company.2023
• Returned to IMO 1995 (Toronto) and took bronze again with 28/42; team ranked 12th overall. Two consecutive IMO bronzes mark him as one of Taiwan's earliest Olympiad standouts (Taiwan first competed in 1992).Jul 1995
• Google Scholar profile shows ~43,700 citations and an h-index of 89, spanning blind channel estimation and 5G waveform/massive-MIMO precoding research.2026
• Named as Chief Technology Officer on Tron Future's Crunchbase profile alongside founder Yu-Jiu Wang - corroborates the CTO role independent of his academic page.2024
• Su describes his motivation for the startup as finally being able to MEASURE the wireless channel himself rather than simulate statistical models - his signal-processing algorithms now target real hardware.2023
• Earned B.S. (1999) and M.S. (2001) in EE/communication engineering at NTU, then a Ph.D. in EE at Caltech (2008); his Caltech thesis on blind channel estimation won the Charles H. Wilts prize.2008
