Research Field
Ben-Yi Liau, Ph.D. is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Automatic Control Engineering at Feng Chia University, Taiwan. In 2008, Dr. Liau obtained his Ph.D. in the Graduate Institute of Electrical and Communications Engineering from Feng Chia University, Taiwan. In 2007, he completed his predoctoral training at the Medical Center of Vanderbilt University, Tennessee, USA. In 1996 and 1998, he earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in Agriculture Machinery Engineering from National Chung Hsing University and National Yang-Ming University, Taiwan. Dr. Liau has two years of practical experience in research and development in the industry. His full-time teaching experience at a university spans 17 years. It is interesting to note that Dr. Liau's research examines the biomedical signal analysis for humans and how environmental factors affect physiological balance. His approach can be used to decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease. In addition to that, he is interested in the application of human-machine interfaces to biomedical devices.
