Professor Qing Jiang received his Ph.D. degree in Engineering and Applied Sciences from California Institute of Technology in 1989. He joined the University of California in 1998, from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where he served as Assistant Professor (1991-1994), Associate Professor (1994-1997) and Professor (1997) for Engineering Mechanics. He held guest scientist appointments at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, U.S.A., and at the Karlsruhe Research Center, Germany, respectively, in 1996 and 1997. Professor Jiang's recent research has been focusing in the following areas: (1) mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes and CNT-based devices, (2) mechanical behaviors of ferroelectric/piezoelectric materials and devices, (3) acoustics and ultrasonics with applications in sensing and imaging.
