Professor Hsueh received his PhD degree from Department of Materials Science and Engineering at University of California, Berkeley in 1981. Before joining National Taiwan University (NTU) in 2010 as a Distinguished Professor, he was a Distinguished R&D Staff at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Professor Hsueh’s formal training is analytical modeling. He has developed analytical models and derived closed-form solutions for many complex problems to identify key parameters in controlling properties/performance of materials and to provide guidelines in the material design. His work has been extensively cited and he was listed as ISI highly cited researcher in Materials Science. Since joining National Taiwan University in 2010, his work has been extended to applied research. His current research work includes metallic glasses, high entropy alloys, nanoindentation, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and plasmonics nanodevices, etc. To promote the studies of mechanical properties of materials at NTU, he successfully developed a five-year Excellent Research Project entitled “Exploring Micro-Nano Scale Mechanical Properties of Cutting-Edge Materials” shortly after joining NTU. This project integrates the core competencies of College of Engineering with 5 sub-projects to explore the fundamentals that dictate the mechanical properties of a number of cutting-edge materials. He has authored or coauthored more than 250 scientific journal papers. Also, invited by Springer Nature in 2014, Prof. Hsueh is the Editor-in-Chief to edit “Handbook of Mechanics of Materials”. The handbook covers nanomechanics, micromechanics, macromechanics, and measurements and applications. It consists of 71 chapters and 2405 pages to be published in 3 volumes, and the expected due date is March 12, 2019. Professor Hsueh is a Fellow of the American Society for Metals (ASM), the American Ceramic Society (ACerS), and the World Innovation Foundation (WIF). He also received the prestigious Outstanding Scholar Chair from Foundation for the Advancement of Outstanding Scholarship, Taiwan. Currently, he serves as Executive Council Member of Taiwan Ceramic Society and Associate Editor of eight international journals.
