Before joining academia in 2007, Shih spent 18 years in the technology and consumer electronics industries, bringing real‑world expertise to the classroom.

There he was responsible for launching and scaling the company’s consumer digital camera business to more than $1 billion in annual revenue. His executive career continued internationally as Executive Vice President and co‑head of the Technology Group at Thomson in Paris, where he managed corporate research, intellectual property licensing, and strategic technology initiatives.
A seasoned authority on intellectual property and innovation strategy, Shih has structured licensing programs and participated in negotiations and technical leadership roles across industries. He holds S.B. degrees in Chemistry and Life Sciences from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley.
