Jyh-Wei Lee

Prof. Jyh-Wei Lee is the Distinguished Professor of Department of Materials Engineering, Ming Chi University of Technology (MCUT), Taiwan. He is also the Group Leader of the Center for Plasma and Thin Film Technologies (CPTFT), MCUT since 2010. He is currently the President of Taiwan Association for Coating and Thin Film Technology since 2017. He was the Dean, College of Engineering, Tungnan University (TNU), Taiwan, during 2007~2010, Director, Research Center for Micro/Nanotechnologies, TNU during 2005~2010. His research focuses on the development of plasma based thin film technologies to enhance the property and performance of coatings used for cutting tools, molding dies, surgery instruments, antibacterial, and pollution treatments. He also investigates the nanocomposite and nanolaminated nitride/carbide hard coatings for tribological applications, corrosion and oxidation protection in related industries. He is skilled in the high power impulse magnetron sputtering, pulsed dc magnetron sputtering, cathodic arc evaporation deposition and micro arc oxidation techniques, plasma diagnosis using optical emission spectroscopy (OES), nanoindentation, AFM and related nanomechanical testing methods. In addition, he has done some research work on chromizing and aluminizing processes for the Fe, Ni, and Co based alloys to prolong their surface life at high temperature. Prof. Lee is an author of more than 140 publications and over 50 invited lectures in the field of PVD and related surface engineering technologies.
