Dr. Tony Huang joins Engineering Science and Mechanics as Assistant Professor fall semester 2005. Dr. Huang was awarded a masters degree in Mechanical Engineering from Xi'an Jiao Tong University in China and a doctoral degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He joins Penn State after completing a Postdoctoral Research appointment with the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department of UCLA.
He is the developer of a molecular muscle-based nanomechanical actuator using hybrid top-down/bottom-up techniques; he invented an electrochemical method that is able to specifially detect gene mutations; and, he developed a spectroscopic technique to monitor in situ molecular signatures in molecular electronic/mechanical devices.
Dr. Huang's research will focus on biomedical nanoelectromechanical systems (BioNEMS); Nanomaterials and Naosystems; Molecular Mechanics, and Microfluidics.
