curriculum vitae

Dr. Minking K. Chyu is presently the Leighton Orr Professor and Chairman of Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Pittsburgh. He received his Ph.D. degree 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 issues relating to 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. He serves as an Associate Editor for the Journal of Heat Transfer, ASME and a Foreign Editor for the International Journal of Chinese Institute of Mechanical Engineers.
