Kuo-Shen Chen

Kuo-Shen Chen received the B.S. degree in power mechanical engineering (with highest honors) from National Tsing-Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, R.O.C., in 1989 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, in 1995 and 1999, respectively. From 1998 to 1999, he was a Postdoctoral Associate in the Active Materials and Structures Laboratory (AMSL), Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, MIT, where he worked on developing the overall system dynamics of a piezo-based micro energy harvester. Since August 1999, he has been with the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Cheng-Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan, currently as an Associate Professor. His research interests are in mechanics, materials science, and mechatronics: including mechanical analysis and material characterization of MEMS, system dynamics and control of mechatronics and MEMS, and vibration control of smart structures.
