Introduction

Professor Song-Jeng Huang, he received the Ph.D. in Dynamics and Strength of Machine, Instrument and Apparatus at MATI-Russian State University of Technology in 2000, and is currently a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, Taipei Taiwan, ROC. His research focuses on Magnesium Hydrides Hydrogen Storage Materials, Metal Matrix Composite Materials, Bulk Nanomaterials made by Severe Plastic Deformation, Synthesis of Inorganic Nanotubes, and Bio-Medical Engineering (Microbial Fuel Cell System and Bio-Chip for Blood Coagulation Tester).

Dr. Huang worked as Visiting Professor (6/2006-5/2007) at School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Purdue University, USA; Visiting Scientist (9/2013-7/2014) at School of Chemistry, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel; Director of Science and Technology Division (10/2018-09/2022) of Ministry of Science and Technology (Taiwan) at Representative Office in Moscow for the Taipei-Moscow Economic and Cultural Coordination Commission; Director (07/2024-till now) of ATW Solid State Hydrogen Energy Research Center at NTUST.

Dr. Huang has published 160 Journal papers. In recent 5 years (2021-2025), he obtained 12 project grants from NSTC (4) and other organizations (8), and fruitfully published 85 journal papers. His google scholar h-index is 29 (24 since 2020) and i10-index is 79 (64 since 2020). Dr. Huang ranked as the “World’s Top 2% Scientists” list released by Stanford University, in the “2023 Annual Scientific Impact Ranking,” in the “2024 Annual Scientific Impact Ranking” and listed in the “Lifetime Scientific Impact Ranking (1960-2024).” Three of his invented technologies have been transferred to 5 private Taiwanese companies. 

He has excellent cooperation with industries to implement his academic research results. Besides, Dr. Huang has received 13 patents of metal-matrix composites and bio-chip detector. He has executed 4 bi-lateral international projects, including 3 Taiwan-Russia grants and 1 Taiwan-Slovak grant.

He is a co-founder (since 11/2014) of Winnoz Inc. (www.winnoz.com), which is a global network of specialists to provide winning innovations in biosensing technologies to the healthcare industry and the biomedical industry.
