Chuan Li

Bio

Professor Chuan Li graduated from The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 1998 with Ph.D. and MS. in Mechanical Engineering. His specialties include the thin-film technologies and optoelectronic materials, stability and stochastic analysis of dynamic systems and interfacial thermal contact, thermo-mechanical interactions in solids and under phase change (solidification).

Dr. Li has worked at Ford and Chrysler as a project engineer. He is very familiar with the finite element method for thermal, vibration and stress analyses. After working in the US for a few years, he joined the faculty of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. He taught both undergraduate and graduate courses at the School of aerospace and mechanical engineering. Dr. Li has been associated with Nanyang Technological University for nine years before he moved to Taiwan.

Dr. Li’s current researches focus on transparent oxide thin film fabrication, cell, and thin-film interactions; stability analysis in reactive sputtering; plasma diagnostics and analysis for PVD and CVD processes; multi-scaled thermoelastic contact in solids. His group, with collaborations in UK, UAE, and Taiwan, has successfully fabricated various metal-oxide thin films for optoelectronic applications, applications of the optical tweezers to measure the stiffness and deformation of erythrocytes. They also developed cell traction microscopy for measuring cell traction on hydrogels.

Besides the research front, Dr. Li also has extensive experience in undergraduate/graduate teaching. His proficiency in English permits him to effortlessly converse in lectures with international students. He is currently in charge of lectures for different international programs at National Central University and National Yang Ming University. His teaching subjects include engineering statistics, solid mechanics, dynamics and vibration, kinematics and mechanism, statistical quality control, finite element and numerical analysis.
