Biography:

Dr. Ming Chyu is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering and an Adjunct Professor of Medicine at Texas Tech University (TTU). He is a Fellow of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Fellow of American College of Healthcare Trustees (ACHT), and has received numerous awards for research, teaching, and service from government, professional societies, foundations, industry, university, and student organization. He has conducted research funded by the US National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, US Department of Energy, US Department of Agriculture, National laboratories, professional societies, state government, private foundations, and industry. He has participated in superconductor research at Argonne National Laboratory, design of International Space Station at NASA Johnson Space Center, and nuclear energy research at Sandia National Laboratories. He has served on a number of technical committees in ASME and American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), including the Chair of the Superconductivity Technical Committee of ASME. He has published about 200 technical publications including 140 archival journal papers in engineering and healthcare. His recent research activities cover a wide spectrum of specialties from epilepsy to cancer detection to surgery, from bone to joint to muscle biomechanics, from physical stimulations to dietary supplements for intervention, from mathematical analysis to model simulation to experiment, from laboratory to animal to human studies, and more. Dr. Chyu has been dedicated to promoting collaboration between engineering and healthcare. He is the Founding President of the Healthcare Engineering Alliance Society (HEALS), and the Founding Editor-in-Chief of Journal of Healthcare Engineering. He is also the founder of one of the first graduate healthcare engineering programs in the world; a platform for physicians to collaborate with engineering researchers and companies to develop medical devices; one of the most comprehensive medical device platforms in the world; a platform to help professors worldwide to teach courses in healthcare engineering; an innovative healthcare engineering short course program; the only program helping engineers/students to find jobs in the healthcare industry; the Healthcare Engineering online communities; and the only Healthcare Engineering Certificate Program. He has also led 40 experts worldwide to first define healthcare engineering in a pioneering white paper (2015) and also on Wikipedia.org.
