Brief Biography

Dr. Cheng-Hsien Liu received his Ph.D. degree from in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford University. Since Autumn 2000, he had been with National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, Republic of China, as an assistant professor in the Power Mechanical Engineering Department and an joint faculty member in the Institute of Nano Engineering and Micro Systems. Presently he is a professor in the Power Mechanical Engineering Department at National Tsing Hua University. In 1999-2000, he worked as a senior Electrical Engineer at Halo Data Devices Inc., San Jose, where he focuses on the development of micro-drives for portable information storage applications. While at Stanford, he worked with Dr. Kenny at Stanford Micro-structures and Sensors Laboratory and focused his Ph.D. work on high-performance MEMS sensors. He currently oversees graduate students in the Micro-Systems and Control Laboratory, whose research activities cover a variety of areas in MicroElectroMechanical Systems, System Dynamics/Modeling/Control and Nanotechnology such as biomimetic array chip for bio-object manipulation targeting for tissue engineering/ drug screening applications, Bio Lab on a chip, Micro Total Analysis Systems, Liver on Lab Chip, Biomedical Instruments, microphotonics, and advanced tunable MEMS grating for optical communication applications, and microsystem robust/optimal control. He received 2011 Outstanding Research Award from National Science Council (NSC) in 2012, A. Kobayashi Young Investigator Award in Experimental Science from International Conference on Computational and Experimental Engineering and Sciences in 2000, the award of Outstanding Chemical Engineering Article of the Year 2010, the award for University Special Talents from National Science Council (2000~2011), the Academic Excellent Award from National Tsing Hua University.
