Prof. Pun received his B.Eng. and M.Phil. degrees in Electronic Engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1995 and 1997 respectively, and his Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Instituto Superior Técnico, Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal, in 2001. In 1999, he worked part-timely at Chipidea Microelectronics S.A. as an IC designer. In 2001, he joined the Department of Electronic Engineering, Chinese University of Hong Kong. where he is now an Associate Professor. He was a visiting scholar at the Columbia Integrated Systems Laboratory, Columbia University, during his leave from CUHK in the summer of 2004. Prof. Pun received a Departmental Exemplary Teaching Award and a Faculty Exemplary Teaching Award in 2005.

Prof. Pun serves as the Chairman of IEEE Hong Kong Joint-Chapter of Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits. He is general co-chair of IEEE Conference on Electron Devices and Solid-State Circuits 2008 and a member of ISSCC 2009 International Technical Program Committee. He is a guest editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and System II: Express Brief, special issue on "Circuits and Systems Solution for Nanoscale CMOS Design Challenges". His research interests include circuits for complex signal processing, continuous-time filters, delta-sigma modulators and ultra low-voltage circuits.
