Current Chinese Science

Prof. Calvin Yu-Chian Chen is the Director of Intelligent Medical Center and a professor of school of intelligent systems engineering, Sun Yat-sen University. He also serves as an advisor and researcher in China Medical University, Asia University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and a guest professor in Peking University, University of Pittsburgh, and adjunct professor in Zhejiang University. He had built the world’s largest traditional Chinese medicine database (http://tcm.cmu.edu.tw/) and the world’s first cloud-computing CADD system (http://iScreen.cmu.edu.tw/). He also built the world first integrated TCM and combine docking, molecular dynamics cloud-computing systems, iSMART (http://iSmart.cmu.edu.tw/). Prof. Chen’s laboratory focuses on interdisciplinary issues, such as artificial intelligent technology application in medicine, bioinformatics, systems biology, chemoinformatics, and pharmainformatics. Now his research focuses on building an expert system to help doctors for clinical medical treatment by using deep learning and big data technology from all the databases and new artificial algorithms that he had built.

Dr. Hong Qiao is currently the Deputy Director of State Key Laboratory of Management and Control for Complex Systems, Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences. She received her Ph.D. degree from De Montfort University Leicester in 1995. She is an internationally-recognized and highly-cited pioneer researcher in high-precision robotic manipulation and biologically-inspired robotic cognition and manipulation. Her theory of “Attractive Region in Environment (ARIE)” —reported as “Qiao’s Concept” —has been widely applied in industrial robots in China. She has been selected as the Member of the Administrative Committee of IEEERobotics and Automation Society. She also serves as AEs of 6 IEEE Transactions and Editor-in-chief of Assembly Automation (SCI).
