Ampere Tseng Ph.D.
Before joining Arizona State University in 1996, Dr. Tseng had been a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Drexel University for more than ten years. EducationPh.D. Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, 1978; MS. Theoretical & Applied Mechanics, University of Illinois at Urbana, 1974.Career HighlightsFrom 1990 to 1994, Professor Tseng led the Drexel's Center for Automation Technology, established by DOE's five million dollars grant, while from 1997 to 2000, he was Co-Director of the ASU Manufacturing Institute. In 1997, the nine million dollars' commitment from Motorola to Manufacturing Institute was the largest single donation in ASU history. Currently Dr. Tseng is interested in doing research in fabrication and prototyping of micro/nano scale structures and devices.He has published more than two hundred technical papers, and received more than three million dollars in research funding from government agencies and industries. Dr. Tseng is heavily involved in professional society activities and has been a member of the editorial boards of several professional journals. Dr. Tseng was the Chair of the ASME Materials Division (1991-1992) and of the 2000 NSF Workshop on Manufacturing of Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems Workshop. He also co-chaired the 1992 International Conference on Transport Phenomena in Processing and the 1999 NSF USA-China Workshop on Advanced Machine Tool Research. Currently, Professor Tseng is a fellow of ASME and a member of Information and Control Committee of SEMI and was its Educational Partnership Roundtable Chairman. Dr. Tseng has been awarded a Czech/US DOS fellowship, Nippon Steel fellowship and ROC National Science Council Professorship to perform research in Czech, Japan, Taiwan and China, respectively. He was bestowed a guest professorship by Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2000, Beijing Tsinghua University and University of Science and Technology of China in 2003. AwardsNine US patents in his credit were issued in the past five years. Professor Tseng is a recipient of Martin Marietta Laboratories' Superior Performance Award, ASME Service Award, RCA Laboratories Performance Award, Alcoa Foundation Research Award, and ASU Faculty Award and Citation.BooksEmerging Lithographic Technologies for Nanopatterning (CRC Press) February 2008 |

Optical Waveguides: From Theory to Applied TechnologiesAlthough the theory and principles of optical waveguides have been established for more than a century, the technologies have only been realized in recent decades. Optical Waveguides: From Theory to Applied Technologies combines the most relevant aspects of waveguide theory with the study of current detailed waveguiding technologies, in particular, photonic devices, telecommunication applications, and biomedical optics. With self-contained chapters written by well-known specialists, the book features both fundamentals and applications. The first three chapters examine the theoretical foundations and bases of planar optical waveguides as well as critical optical properties such as birefringence and nonlinear optical phenomena. The next several chapters focus on contemporary waveguiding technologies that include photonic devices and telecommunications. The book concludes with discussions on additional technological applications, including biomedical optical waveguides and the potential of neutron waveguides. As optical waveguides play an increasing part in modern technology, photonics will become to the 21st century what electronics were to the 20th century. Offering both novel insights for experienced professionals and introductory material for novices, this book facilitates a better understanding of the new information era-the photonics century. Introduction to Materials Science and EngineeringOur civilization owes its most significant milestones to our use of materials. Metals gave us better agriculture and eventually the industrial revolution, silicon gave us the digital revolution, and we're just beginning to see what carbon nanotubes will give us. Taking a fresh, interdisciplinary look at the field, Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering emphasizes the importance of materials to engineering applications and builds the basis needed to select, modify, or create materials to meet specific criteria. The most outstanding feature of this text is the author's unique and engaging application-oriented approach. Beginning each chapter with a real-life example, an experiment, or several interesting facts, Yip-Wah Chung wields an expertly crafted treatment with which he entertains and motivates as much as he informs and educates. He links the discipline to the life sciences and includes modern developments such as nanomaterials, polymers, and thin films while working systematically from atomic bonding and analytical methods to crystalline, electronic, mechanical, and magnetic properties as well as ceramics, corrosion, and phase diagrams. Woven among the interesting examples, stories, and Chinese folk tales is a rigorous yet approachable mathematical and theoretical treatise. This makes Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering an effective tool for anyone needing a strong background in materials science for a broad variety of applications. |
