Feng-huei Lin MS, PhD

Dr. Feng-Huei obtained his BS degree in the Department of Earth Sciences at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Taiwan, in 1980. After serving in the army for 2 years, he was invited to be a teaching assistant in the Department of ES, NCKU, in 1982. In 1983, he joined the Functional Ceramics Lab at the Institute of Materials Sciences and Engineering, NCKU, Taiwan. He was assigned to do the research in Bio-ceramic and Composite for Orthopaedics; where he received the training both in Materials Technology and Medical Science. During their PhD training, he not only took courses in engineering school but also in medical school; which included biochemistry, cell biology, physiology, pathology, and anatomy. He was honoured with a PhD degree with 12 SCI publications in November 1989.

In early 1990, He was recruited as an associate professor at the Centre for Biomedical Engineering, College of Medicine, National Taiwan University (NTU); where he started his academic career. In 1997, he was promoted to full professor. He organized to set up the Institute of biomedical engineering at NTU and served as acting director of the institute during 1997-1999. He was invited to be the first Engineering background director in the Department of Biomedical Engineering, NTU-hospital (2003-2005). From 2005-2008, he backed the Institute of biomedical engineering, NTU, as director.

During 2006-2009, National Science Council, Taiwan, asked for his help to be the Convenor of the Biomedical Division to allocate the budget and to make future planning in the next 10 years. From 2008-2012, he temporarily transferred to Biomedical Engineering Division, National Health Research Institute, as director and took charge of the Development of Biomaterials and Tissue Engineering. Now, he is a distinguished professor at NTU, a Chair professor at the National Taipei University of Technology, an Executive editor of the Journal of Biomedical Engineering (SCI) and an International Fellow of the International College of Biomaterials Sciences and Engineering.

Dr. Lin served as a standing committee member in many international societies since 1996. He was permanent international advisory board in Ceramic, Cell and Tissue (CCT) (1998-2010); and served as the President in 2010. He was one of the standing committee members in WACBE (2005-) and a council member in the TERMIS-AP Chapter (2009-2011). He also served as an editorial board member in many SCI journals, for instance, Biomaterials, International Journal of Biomaterials, International Journal of Biomater Research and Eng, Journal of Musculoskeletal Research etc.

Since 1990, Dr. Lin has published over 500 SCI papers, joined 11 book chapters, awarded 74 patents and transferred 21 technologies to industry to the final product. He expanded his research interests by discussing with clinical doctors 4 hours every week. His research is in scaffolding for tissue engineering, nano-technology for drug and gene delivery, bio-nano-science for cancer hyperthermia, biomaterials for stem cell research, and hydrogel for vitreous body substitute. He is willing to cooperate with different kinds of researchers and scientists; and is very happy to help young blood to do the research by sharing knowledge, experience and lab tools. He is very experienced both in academic research and industry to push the research fruits to the commercial product.
