Dr. Mingsian R. Bai
Mingsian R. Bai received a bachelor’s degree in Power Mechanical
Engineering from National Tsing Hua University in 1981. He also
received a master degree in Business Management from National
Chen-Chi University in 1984. He left Taiwan in 1984 to enter graduate
school of Iowa State University and later received a MS degree from
Mechanical Engineering in 1985 and a Ph.D. from Engineering
Mechanics and Aerospace Engineering in 1989. In 1989, he joined the
Department of Mechanical Engineering of National Chiao-Tung
University in Taiwan as an associate professor and became a professor in
1996. He moved to National Tsing Hua University in 2010 and served
as a distinguished professor in Power Mechanical Engineering and the
director of Telecom-Electroacoustics-Audio (TEA) laboratory. He was
also a visiting scholar to Center of Vibration and Acoustics, Penn State
University, University of Adelaide, Australia, and Institute of Sound and
Vibration Research (ISVR), UK in 1997, 2000, 2002, respectively. He
has rather diverse research interests in acoustics, spanning acoustic array
systems, audio signal processing, electroacoustic transducers,
vibroacoustic diagnostics, active noise and vibration control, and so forth.
He currently serves as an active consultant and a project leader in these
areas in industry. He has published over 231 papers, 5 books (including
Engineering Acoustics and Acoustic Array Systems published by
IEEE/Wiley), and 36 granted patents. He has received numerous
academic awards including two Outstanding Research Awards from
National Science Council in 2006 and 2010. Professor Bai is a senior
member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE),
American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the Audio
Engineering Society (AES), the Acoustical Society of America (ASA), the
Acoustical Society of Taiwan, and the Vibration and Noise Control
Engineering Society in Taiwan. He is an associate editor under
transduction and engineering acoustics and a technical committee
member in signal processing (TCSP) of the Journal of Acoustical Society
of America (JASA) since July 2012 and a guest editor of Asian Journal of
Control in 2012. He was elected as a Fellow of Acoustical Society of
America (ASA) in 2014 and a Fellow of American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) in 2021.
