SPEAKER

Professor Jin-Wei Liang received his Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from Michigan State University on 1996. Before that he received his M.S. and B.S. degrees, both in mechanical engineering, from NTUST, Taipei Taiwan on 1988 and 1985, respectively. Dr. Liang joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Ming Chi University of Technology, Taipei, Taiwan since 1985. He is currently a professor, and also serves as the Dean of College of Engineering. Professor Liang has won Outstanding Research and Teaching Awards from Ming Chi University of Technology. He is also the recipient of Outstanding Teacher Award from the Association of Private Universities and Colleges of Technology, Taiwan. He is currently a member of academic board of the Society of Sound and Vibration, Taiwan. As a dean of college of engineering, he leads several research teams with members from different departments. These research teams have obtained more than 50-million New Taiwan Dollars research grants from Taiwan government in the past few years. His research interests are in dynamics, vibration and control, with current activities in damping identification on vibration systems, intelligent and model-based control of piezoelectric-actuated system, active vibration isolation using pneumatic system. Some of his research results on damping identification method were adopted by European scientists to develop standard damping identification algorithms for European Union.
His major research interests are time-domain numerical solvers for Maxwell’s equations, antenna design and development, wave propagation in complex media, and microwave ferrite devices.

Ounder and CEO of Netspectrum Inc. based in Silicon Valley, California. His current interests include: Networking, Mobile and Cloud Computing technologies, He is also active in early stage investments of high tech start-ups. Mr. Wei was born in Tianjin, PRC. (!He graduated from Tianjin University Bachelor of Science in Industrial Automation and Master degree in Systems Science.) He attended Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada where he obtained his Master of Science degree in Electronic Engineering. His thesis regarding the application of large scale optimization in circuit design was published in IEEE and IEEE transactions. Mr. Wei joined Nortel in 1992 and was employed as a software engineer and project manager. He became an expert on Unix and later engineered Nortel’s internal network and computing architecture. He also developed the Nortel networking product line and made notable contributions to their products. In 1996, He moved to Silicon Valley located in California, USA. and subsequently become an early founding member of Juniper Networks Inc (JNPR, a NASDAQ traded company). He has made remarkable contributions to Juniper network’s router product line, the M-series router, which was the industry’s first ASIC based high performance router. He was employed at Juniper as a senior manager and was responsible for the delivery of several critical products. In 2005, his 17th years abroad and 9th year at Juniper, he moved back to Bejing to where he later founded Netspectrum Inc.. He currently develops Linux base embedded solution for networking products and their customers include NASDAQ traded high tech companies from Silicon Valley. The company is developing state of the art solutions to the vibrant industry of mobile application, embedded solutions and cloud computing. He has also been doing angel investing in technology start-ups.
