CHUNG-MING CHEN

Biography

CHUNG-MING CHEN received his PhD degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, U.S.A. He subsequently joined the Center for Biomedical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taiwan, where he served as a research assistant professor. He is currently a professor of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taiwan. He is also a PI of the Molecular Imaging Center, National Taiwan University, where he leads the Infrared Core Laboratory aiming to develop new IR imaging technologies for various medical applications. During his term as the Director of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering, he established the undergraduate program of biomedical engineering in National Taiwan University, starting from Fall semester, 2018. He co-led a team constructing the first Taiwan medical image database for coronary artery diseases composed of 3000 Computed Tomographic Images, partially along with coronary angiography, intravascular ultrasound images, SPECT, and optical coherence tomography. At the same time, he developed the machine learning and deep learning algorithms for computer-aided detection, diagnosis and therapy of coronary diseases. His research interests include medical image analysis, machine learning and deep learning approaches for solving clinical problems based on medical images, IR medical imaging, bioinformatics and medical electronics. He had served as the conference chair, a program committee member, or an organizing committee member for several international conferences. He has published 110 journal papers and 157 conference papers. He is a member of the IEEE.
