Introduction

Dr. Ming-Tsang Lee received his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of California, Berkeley. After graduated, he had been a Postdoctoral Researcher in UC Berkeley and as a Visiting Scientist in Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. Since August 2018 Dr. Lee joined the Department of Power Mechanical Engineering in National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), Hsinchu, Taiwan, as an associate professor. Dr. Lee is currently a Committee Member of Nanoscale Heat Transport (K-9) in ASME Heat Transfer Division, and an Observer in Asian Union of Thermal Science and Engineering (AUTSE). He has received several academic awards including the Outstanding Graduate Student Instructor (UC Berkeley 2008), Distinguished Young Scholar of Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics in 2018, Outstanding Young Scholar Research Grant (National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), Taiwan, 2017~2020), The First Place for Research Project Poster Competition (Thermal-Fluids Division, NSTC, 2022), and Distinguished Teaching Award (College of Engineering, NTHU, 2023). Dr. Lee’s current research interests include: Transport phenomena in micro/nanoscale complex multiphase thermal-fluid systems, Intelligent thermal management and heat transfer enhancement for high power density electronic devices, Laser assisted micro/nanoscale hybrid and green manufacturing, Multiphysics modeling for renewable energy, advanced manufacturing processes and ultra-precision machinery systems.

With solid fundamentals of opto-thermal-fluid physics, the imt Lab dedicates to interdisciplinary scientific research on multiscale and multiphysics coupled transport phenomena as well as the development of novel intelligent modeling/optimization technology and AI-opto-mechatronics system design for ultra-precision manufacturing and advanced thermal-fluid systems
