| Biography |
Dr Tan Ming Jen attended Anglo-Chinese School and Anglo-Chinese Junior College, Singapore and received both his B.Sc (Eng.) and Ph.D. from The Royal School of Mines, Imperial College, London. He was Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) Fellow at Kyoto University in 1991, Science & Technology Agency (STA) Fellow at the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory (A.I.S.T., M.I.T.I.), Tsukuba, Japan 1992-93, Visiting Scientist at Columbia University (2003) and Fulbright Scholar (2004) at both The Anderson School (UCLA) and Kellogg School of Management (Northwestern University) in the United States of America.
Dr Tan has more than 110 publications in various international journals and also has more than 100 publications in international conference proceedings and book chapters. His research has over 1200 citations on a search of 94 research papers (Source: Scopus, as of 1st May 2010). To date he has attracted over S$2 million research and development funds from various government funding agencies, industries and international sources as Principle Investigator, and over S$6 milion including as a collaborator. He has been consulted regularly by local industries for solving material problems and providing solutions.
He is currently Director of the M.Sc. (Mechanics and Processing of Materials) Programme. He is also the Deputy Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Computational Materials Science & Surface Engineering, and Archives of Materials Science and Engineering, and on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Achievements in Materials and Manufacturing Engineering. |
