Introduction

Dr. Hung-Chih Chang received his bachelor's and master's degrees in Mold and Die Engineering from the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology in Taiwan from 2006 to 2012. In 2017, he received funding from the Ministry of Education and spent one year as a visiting scholar at the Minnesota Dental Research Center for Biomaterials and Biomechanics Laboratory in America, gaining valuable study experience abroad. He then returned to Taiwan and completed his PhD in Biomedical Engineering from National Cheng Kung University in 2019. Currently, Dr. Chang is an assistant professor in the Department of Mold and Die Engineering from the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, Taiwan. His research focuses on biomechanics, with a particular emphasis on dentistry and orthopaedic. Dr. Chang is known for his easy-going personality and patience, as he always takes the time to teach students step by step and discuss any problems they may have. He is also the director of the Medical Reverse Engineering and Mechanical Analysis Lab, which specializes in biomechanical analysis, medical 3D model reconstruction, 3D scanning and printing, rapid tooling development, and finite element analysis. National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology (NKUST) was established on February 1, 2018, by the merger of three universities: National Kaohsiung University of Applied Sciences, National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology, and National Kaohsiung Marine University, becoming the largest technological university in Taiwan.

The Lab is called Medical Reverse Engineering and Mechanical Analysis Lab, which specializes in biomechanical analysis, medical 3D model reconstruction, 3D scanning and printing, rapid tooling development, and finite element analysis.
