An interview with:
Dr. Yu-Chong Tai
July 2005 |
 |
Dr.
Yu-Chong Tai, professor of electrical engineering and
bioengineering at the California Institute of
Technology in Pasadena, is an electrical engineer
whose early work pioneered a new direction that is now
called, "microelectromechanical systems" (MEMS).
He has published on just about every facet of MEMS,
from shear-stress sensors to micromachining to thermal
sensors to lab-on-a-chip. His recent research forays
are leading him into studies of biological systems at
the micro level. According to our Special Topics
analysis of MEMS research over the past decade, Dr.
Tai’s work ranks at #5, with 27 qualifying papers
cited a total of 272 times. In the ISI
Essential
Science Indicators
Web product, Dr. Tai’s record includes 41 papers
cited a total of 383 times to date.
