Wei-Hsin Chen

About

Professor Wei-Hsin Chen received his B.S. degree from the Department of Chemical Engineering, Tunghai University, Taiwan, in 1988 and a Ph.D. degree from the Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, National Cheng Kung University. After receiving his Ph.D. degree, Dr. Chen worked in an iron and steel corporation as a process engineer. He joined the Department of Environmental Engineering and Science, Fooyin University in 1995 and was promoted to a full professor in 2001. In 2005, he moved to the Department of Marine Engineering, National Taiwan Ocean University. Two years later (2007), he moved to the Department of Greenergy, National University of Tainan. Now he is a Faculty Member at the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, National Cheng Kung University. Professor Chen visited the Princeton University, USA, the University of New South Wales, Australia, the University of Edinburg, UK, and the University of British Columbia, Canada, as a Visiting Professor.
