| Biography |
| Chua Leok Poh received his BE (1985, with Class 1 honor) and Ph. D. (1990) from the University of Newcastle (Australia) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He joined the Nanyang Technological Institute as a lecturer in the School of Mechanical and Production Engineering, he was then promoted to Senior Lecturer in 1995. He was appointed as an Associate Professor in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering of Nanyang Technological University since 1999. He has published more than 90 Journal papers, 150 conference papers and three chapters in the book 'Cardiac Pumping and Perfusion Engineering'. |
| Research Interests |
| My research interest is in Bio-fluid engineering espcially on the numerical simulations and measurements (Laser Doppler Anemometer and Particle Image Velocimetry) of the Coronary Bypass Grafting and the Artificial Heart Pumps (both Centrifugal and Axial blood pumps). Furthermore, the design of sleeve connector for the prolong patency of the Coronary Bypass Graft at the distal anastomosis. In addition, I am also interested in turbulent flow measurements using both hot-wire and cold-wire probes in various jet configulations, confined jet and low speed flow measurements. |
