Retrospect and Prospect of Taiwan AI Research Centers

Sheng-Fu Liang (梁勝富) received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in control engineering from the National Chiao Tung University (NCTU), Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1994 and 1996, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and control engineering from NCTU, in 2000.

From 2001 to 2005, Dr. Liang was a Research Assistant Professor in Electrical and Control Engineering, NCTU.

He joined the Department of Biological Science and Technology, NCTU, in 2005 and joined the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering (CSIE) and Institute of Medical Informatics (IMI), National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan, in 2006. He is currently a Professor in CSIE and the Director of IMI, NCKU.

He is also the Director of AI Biomedical Research Center at NCKU, funded by Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), Taiwan. Dr. Liang co-authored the best paper at Journal of Information Science and Engineering (JISE) in 2005 and the distinguished technical paper at 2013 IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC).

He also received the highly cited patent award from Industrial Technology Research Institute, Taiwan, in 2009, and Materials and Devices Joint Research Award from Network Joint Research Center and Dynamic Alliance, Japan, in 2020. Dr. Liang presently serves as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, and a Technical Program Committee (TPC) Member for the IEEE/CAS-EMB Biomedical Circuits and Systems Conference (BioCAS).

His research interests includes biomedical instrumentation and measurement, neural engineering, biomedical signal processing, medical informatics, and computational intelligence.
