Biography

Dr. Peng-Sheng Wei was born in Tokyo, Japan in 1953. He returned Taiwan in 1957. He completed his education in Taiwan. After he received M.S. degree in Power Mechanical Engineering in National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, and military service, he went to California for his further study in 1980. He received Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering Department at University of California, Davis, in 1984. He has been a professor in the Department of Mechanical and Electro-Mechanical Engineering of National Sun Yat-Sen University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan, ROC, since 1989. Dr. Wei has contributed to advancing understanding of and to the applications of electron and laser beam, plasma, and resistance welding through theoretical analyses coupled with verification experiments. Investigations also include studies of their thermal and fluid flow processes, and formations of the defects such as humping, rippling, spiking and porosity. Dr. Wei has published more than 70 journal papers. He is a Fellow of AWS (2007), and a Fellow of ASME (2000). He also received the Outstanding Research Achievement Awards from both the National Science Council (2004), and NSYSU (1991, 2001, 2004), the Outstanding Scholar Research Project Winner Award from National Science Council (2008), Adams Memorial Membership Award from AWS (2008), and Warren F. Savage Memorial Award from AWS (2012). He has been the Xi-Wan Chair Professor of NSYSU since 2009.
