Electromechanical Energy Laboratory
Research Field
Dung-An Wang received the B.S. degree with high honors in mechanical engineering from the National Sun-Yet Sen University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 1992. He received the M.S. in mechanical engineering from the National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan in 1996 and the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, United States in 2004.
While studying the Ph.D. degree, he joined National Steel, Michigan, United States, working on sheet metal forming. For his graduate work in University of Michigan, he specializing in MEMS, sheet metal forming and plasticity, with a dissertation on plastic and fracture analysis of engineering materials and welded structures. From 2004 to 2005, he worked at Da-Yeh University, ChangHua, Taiwan developing micromachined piezoelectric actuators and friction stir welding technologies. From 2005, he has been with National Chung Hsing University, Taichung, Taiwan, performing R&D on compliant mechanism design, novel ultrasonic horn design, steel leveling, micromachined energy harvesters and CMOS MEMS sensors and actuators. He is presently a distinguished professor in the National Chung Hsing University and a visiting professor in the Industrial University of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. He in an inventor on several patents and has authored or coauthored a number of papers and a book chapter related to failure mechanisms of advanced welding processes.
The mentor of the laboratory is Dung-An Wang, Ph.D. You are welcome to visit his google scholar site: https://scholar.google.com.tw/citations?user=IZjRxeEAAAAJ&hl=en to learn about the what and how the lab carries out its missions. Basically, we explore the unknowns with the knowledge, experience, courage and wisdom we inherited from our mother nature. The lab Website: https://sites.google.com/email.nchu.edu.tw/daw has more details about the members of the lab, research interests, fun activities, lab resources. Have fun there. You could send me email by daw@dragon.nchu.edu.tw to inquire more info.
The mentor gained expertise in compliant mechanism design, green energy harvester, ultrasonic welding/machining, micro-electro-mechanical systems, and plasticity.
