RESEARCH PROFILESDEPARTMENT OF POWER MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Foreword

The Department of Power Mechanical Engineering at Tsing Hua University in Taiwan

takes great pride in its high-quality education program and substantial research

accomplishments achieved in the past three decades. In 2005, the Department was

one of the first few accredited by the Institute of Engineering Education in Taiwan (IEET,

a nationwide academic accreditation agency) for its quality undergraduate program.

Well equipped with the most up-to date knowledge and science engineering skills,

our graduates in all levels (B.S., M.S., and Ph.D.) are enthusiastically received by the

industry, government, and academia. The faculty of the Department is active and well

established, contributing to both academic community and industry through cutting-

edge research and close university-industry collaborations. The annual research funding

from both government and industry has totaled about NT$100 millions (≈US$ 3 millions)

since 2005.

Currently, the Department has 35 full-time and 11 adjunct professors and continues

to grow with addition of new members and expansion in research focuses. Based on

individual expertise, the professors are grouped into four major divisions, the Thermofluid

Division, the Electrical and Control Division, the Solid and Nano Mechanics Division, and

the Design and Manufacturing Division. This profile is aimed to provide you with a brief

insight into our current research efforts and achievements.

The Department persists in recruiting outstanding individuals in order to orchestrate

an increasingly stronger faculty. We believe the Department is on the right track to its

excellence. We hope that you will find this research profile interesting and informative and

look forward to receiving your comments and suggestions.

Overview of the Department

The Department of Power Mechanical Engineering (PME) of National Tsing Hua

University (NTHU) was founded in 1972 with both undergraduate and master programs.

The Ph.D. program was then established in 1981.The department has gained excellent

reputation in both academia and industry for its distinctive features. Especially, the

department has been known for its integration of mechanical and electrical engineering

disciplines. As our initial goal to set up innovative road map for future mechanical

engineering developments, we reformed our conventional curriculum and established

four advanced engineering programs to educate our young elites in meeting the nation’s

future needs. They are Energy, Electrical and control, Micro and Nano technology, and

Precision Design and Manufacturing programs. Furthermore, in response to the increasing

needs for globalization, the department has established exchange programs with several

internationally renowned institutions to promote joint research among faculties and to

enhance the international experiences and the multicultural understanding for students.

In 2010, the department has 423 undergraduates, 244 master students, and 131

Ph.D. students, which demonstrates that we are a research oriented department. Our

faculty includes 28 full professors, 4 associate professors, and 3 assistant professors,

which generates an average of over 200 journal and conference publications a year. In

addition, the department has 5 adjunct professors from the MEMS institute of NTHU, other

research organizations, and the industry. Our expertise covers Mechanical Engineering,

Electrical Engineering, Opto-mechatronic Engineering, and Micro/Nano technology. Our

faculty has received 22 times the “Excellent Research Award” from the National Science

Council, and 20 times the “University Excellent Teaching Award”. Our faculty also have

actively involved in the editorial services for renowned international journals as well as

in organizing major international conferences. In the future, we will continue recruiting

new distinguished faculty and seeking funding from the government and the industry to

maintain our quality teaching and excellent research.

• Microfl uidic platforms for biomarker exploration: Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment (SELEX) technique has been extensively used to screen specifi c aptamers from combinatorial libraries of synthetic nucleic acids by an iterative process. Aptamers are usually screened and selected from a large random DNA or RNA pool, which have a high affi nity to specific biomolecules, antibodies, or even cells. Therefore they have a variety of promising applications such as diagnosis and therapy. We have demonstrated that SELEX can be automatically performed on a microfl uidic system.

Dr. Shong-Leih Lee, Ph. D.Professor


Dr. Lee received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, the University of Missouri-Rolla in 1986. He has been a professor in the Department of Power Mechanical Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan since 1989. His research interests include development of numerical methods for Fluid fl ow and Heat Transfer, bubble dynamics, liquid micro-lens, bioheat transfer, Direct numerical Simulation for Two-Phase Flow.

SELECTED RESEARCH PROJECTS

• Bioheat Equation for Skin Burn Injury: Numerical model for heat exchange between dermis and the blood fl ows in the terminal artery and vein is developed. The model is used to investigate the thermal response of a burn-injured skin. The model is proven to be able to identify the region of the burn skin that needs surgery. It fi nds important application for clinic diagnostic.

• Bubble Growth and Detachment: The transition stage (self-accelerating necking process) generally takes place before a bubble collapses. However, the mechanism is still not well-understood. In the project we successfully developed a simple numerical method called “geometry method” that solves the bubble shape very effi ciently (see the attached fi gure.). Multiple solution modes were found for an equilibrium bubble having a given volume. It accounts for the existence of self-accelerating necking process.

• Meniscus Shape and Optical Performance of a Liquid Micro-Lens: Meniscus shape of the liquid lens is obtained by solving the Young-Laplace equation under the effect of an applied electric field. We found that the spherical aberration of the lens can be essentially eliminated when a proper electric fi eld is applied.
