curriculum vitae

Dr. Minking K. Chyu is presently the Leighton Orr Chair Professor and Chairman of Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science Department at the University of Pittsburgh. He received his Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Minnesota in 1986.  He was a faculty member at Carnegie Mellon University for 14 years before joining the University of Pittsburgh in 2000. His primary research area lies in thermal and material issues relating to energy, power and propulsion systems. He has conducted research projects sponsored by a number of government agencies and industry.  Since he joined Pitt, he has initiated a number of collaborative research programs in micro- and nanotechnology, fuel cells, and biomechanics.  Professor Chyu is a recipient of four NASA Certificates of Recognition for his contribution on space shuttle program, Air Force Summer Research Fellow, Department of Energy Oak Ridge Research Fellow, and DOE Advanced-Turbine-System Faculty Fellow.  He is a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), Associate Fellow of American Institute of Aerospace and Aeronautics (AIAA), and a US delegate to the Scientific Council of the International Centre of Heat and Mass Transfer (ICHMT).  He was named the Engineer of The Year by the ASME Pittsburgh Chapter in 2002. In 2007, he was appointed as Institute of Advanced Energy Solutions (IAES) Residence Fellow by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), Department of Energy (DOE).  He serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Heat Transfer, ASME, Advisory Board Member for the International Journal of Fluid Machinery and Systems, and a Foreign Editor for the International Journal of Chinese Institute of Mechanical Engineers.  He has published more than 200 technical papers in archived journals and conference proceedings.
