a message from TSA for all.
------
Dear friends,
I would like to invite you to attend the special event of TSA-STL (聖路易台灣學者協會) in February. Our guest speaker is Dr. Ming C. Leu 呂明全 PhD, Keith and Pat Bailey Distinguished Professor, Director of Intelligent Systems Center at Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Missouri University of Science and Technology. He will present "3D Printing for Tissue Engineering” at Washington University medical school on 5:30 pm, Feb 2nd (Friday).
Dr. Leu (呂明全) is the Keith and Pat Bailey Distinguished Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Missouri University of Science and Technology, where he is also the Director of the Intelligent Systems Center.
Prior to joining Missouri S&T, he was a Program Director at the National Science Foundation, 1996-1999, the State Chair Professor in Manufacturing Productivity at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, 1987-1996, and a faculty member at Cornell University.
He obtained his Ph.D. degree from the University of California at Berkeley, his M.S. degree from the Pennsylvania State University, and his B.S. degree from the National Taiwan University, all in Mechanical Engineering. Professor Leu has published over 400 papers in refereed professional journals and conference proceedings, as well as one e-book and 10 book chapters.
His professional awards include, among others, President’s Leadership Award from the University of Missouri System (2017), Blackall Machine Tool and Gage Award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (2014), Hideo Hanafusa Outstanding Investigator Award from the International Symposium on Flexible Automation (2008), Harlan J. Perlis Research Award from the New Jersey Institute of Technology (1993), Presidential Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation (1985), and Ralph R. Teetor Education Award from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (1985).
He was elected to a Fellow of the International Academy for Production Engineering in 2008 and to a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 1993.
He will deliver the state of art technology, 3D Printing for Tissue Engineering, and convince you that 3D organ printing, a feasible technology. The following is the abstract of his talk. There is also a report “工程系教授呂明全發願 要用3D打印做「器官」”written by 吳淑梅 at 世界日報. You can follow the link this link to read more details.

Abstract
-----------
Commonly known as 3D printing, Additive Manufacturing (AM) is the “process of joining materials to make objects from three-dimensional model data, usually layer by layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies.” AM holds great promise for the future as a tool-less, light-out manufacturing technology, and offers significant benefit over conventional manufacturing processes in producing one-of-a-kind parts or small batches, especially for those with geometric and/or material complexities.
This talk will first give an overview of AM technologies, including the working principles of each of seven AM categories along with their applications in the aerospace, automotive, healthcare, energy, electronics and other industries. Then, the talk will focus on the recent and ongoing research activities of the seminar speaker on 3D printing for tissue engineering. Scaffolds are fabricated from bioactive glasses by selective laser sintering and extrusion freeform fabrication of biopolymers, bioactive glasses, and stem cells, and their mechanical and biological properties are presented and discussed.
