Dr. Jinn P. Chu is the Chair Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (Taiwan Tech). He obtained his Ph.D. in Materials Science from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1992. Over the years, he served in various administrative positions at Taiwan Tech since 2009, including Vice Dean of Engineering, Dean of R&D and university’s Vice President. He is a Fellow of MRS-Taiwan (MRS-T) society and has served as the elected President of Taiwan Association for Coatings and Thin Films Technology (TACT) in 2012-14.

Currently, he is Vice President of MRS-T and past Chair of AVS-Taiwan Chapter. He has published over 210 articles and holds 46 patents. In recognition of his research, he has received Taiwan Ministry of Science and Technology Outstanding Research Award in 2021, Taiwan National Innovation Awards in 2017 and 2019, American Chemical Society (ACS) Award at Japan nano tech 2018. He is also listed in Top 2% Scientists (Career Impact) (1960-2021) and Top 2% Scientists 2021 by Stanford University. 

His research interests are focused on the physics and physical properties of thin-film metallic glasses grown by magnetron sputter deposition. He also applies ACS award-winning metallic nanotube arrays for a wide range of MEMS and NEMS applications, such as biosensors, optical grating, and nanogenerators.
