Dr. Ming-Fa Hsieh obtained his PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from National Tsing Hua University Taiwan in 2001. Since then, more than 70 peer-reviewed papers and three book chapters have been published and seven patents were granted to him. Dr. Hsieh’s main research is focused on biomedical polymeric materials. Specifically, the research themes include the nano-size drug carrier, additive manufactured orthopedic biomaterials and the microfluidics for drug screening. He was awarded 2nd Asia-Pacific Working Group Traveling Fellowship of the International Federation for Medical and Biological Engineering (IFMBE) in 2009 and then jointed Young Professionals and Career Development Working Group of IFMBE from 2009 to 2012. He is currently Associate Dean of College of Engineering at CYCU.
