Dong-Woo Cho
Professor POSTECH (Korea) Department of Mechanical Engineering Title: 3D Cell Printing Technology with Tissue Specific Bioinks

Prof. Dong-Woo Cho received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1986. Ever since, he has been a professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Pohang University of Science and Technology. He is the director of the Center for Rapid Prototyping-based 3D Tissue/Organ Printing. His research interests include 3D microfabrication based on 3D printing technology, and its application to tissue engineering and more generally to bio-related fabrication. He has recently focused his attention on tissue/organ printing technology and development of high-performance bioinks. He serves or has served on the editorial boards of 12 international journals. He has published over 330 academic papers in various international journals in manufacturing and tissue engineering and has contributed chapters to ten books as well as writing a textbook related to tissue engineering and organ printing. He established four venture companies applying his research results, one of which was listed on KOSDAQ on 2018.

He has received many prestigious awards including "the mystery of life" award at The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seoul (2018, January) and "the respect life" award from LINA Foundation 50+ awards (2019, April), 3·1 Culture award from 3·1 Culture Foundation (2020, March), and ISBF Senior Investigator award from International Society for Biofabrication (2019, October). He was also awarded the Nam-Go chair professorship at POSTECH.

Liang-Chia Chen
Professor National Taiwan University (Taiwan) Department of Mechanical Engineering Title: Recent Advances in Automated Optical Inspection and Metrology for In-Line Manufacturing

Dr. Liang-Chia Chen is currently working as a distinguished professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering of National Taiwan University (NTU), Taiwan. He obtained his Ph.D. in advanced manufacturing and mechanical engineering, the University of South Australia in 2000. Prior to embarking on his academic career in Taiwan, he worked as a full-time research engineer in Gerard Industries of Australia (Clipsal) between 1996-2000 and Institute of nuclear energy research (INER) of Taiwan between 1991-1995. Before joining NTU, he worked as a distinguished professor in National Taipei University of Technology between 2001-2009 in Taipei. Up to now, he has received the outstanding research award from the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) of Taiwan, two times in 2016 and 2021 respectively, National year invention gold awards consecutively in 2013 & 2014, and Year 2014 outstanding award on technology transfer from the MOST. His major research fields are in precision metrology and manufacturing, automated optical inspection (AOI), opto-mechatronics instrumentation and 3-D machine vision and algorithms for automation. Up to now, he has published one textbook, three book chapters, more than 120 referred journal papers and 60 invention patents internationally. For academic services, he served as the president of the international committee of measurement and instrumentation (ICMI) between 2015-2017 and currently serves as a steering committee member in ICMI and IMEKO. For international standards, he participates in ISO as a board member in TC14. Meanwhile, he is also participating as a member in SPIE, SME, the Institution of Engineers of Australia (IEA) and Chinese Institute of Engineers (CIE), and a board member in Taiwan Society of Precision Engineering (TSPE), Automated Optical Inspection Equipment Association (AOIEA), Chinese institute of automation engineers (CIAE) and Chinese Metrology Society (CMS).
