Dr. Ming C. Leu, a pacesetter in superior manufacturing analysis for greater than 4 a long time, has been appointed affiliate vice chancellor for analysis and innovation at Missouri University of Science and Technology.
“Missouri S&T is home to some of the world’s leading researchers, and I am honored to be appointed to a role allowing me to support our faculty and help advance the university’s research mission and innovation culture,” Leu says. “As associate vice chancellor, I look forward to strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, helping faculty compete for major research initiatives and expanding our industry partnerships.”
Leu, who can be the Keith and Pat Bailey Missouri Professor and a Curators’ Distinguished Professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, joined the Missouri S&T school in 1999.
He was the founding director of S&T’s Center for Aerospace Manufacturing Technologies and led the middle from 2004 to 2016. He additionally served as director of the Intelligent Systems Center from 2003 to 2020.
Leu has printed over 500 educational journal articles, convention proceedings, guide chapters and different publications for his superior manufacturing analysis and has been awarded 5 U.S. patents for his innovations.
Some of his analysis areas embody additive manufacturing, 3D bioprinting, good manufacturing, clever robotics and cyber-physical programs.
He is a Fellow of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, the International Academy of Production Engineering and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).
His previous awards embody the International Freeform and Additive Manufacturing Excellence Award; the ASME Milton C. Shaw Manufacturing Research Medal; the ASME Blackall Machine Tool and Gage Award; the International Symposium on Flexible Automation’s Hideo Hanafusa Outstanding Investigator Award; the University of Missouri System President’s Award for Leadership, the National Science Foundation’s Presidential Young Investigator Award, and the SAE International Ralph R. Teetor Education Award.
Before becoming a member of S&T, Leu was a program director for the National Science Foundation and held school positions on the New Jersey Institute of Technology and Cornell University.
