Dr. Daniel Chen

Biography

Daniel Chen is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the Division of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. He leads the Tissue Engineering Research Group (TERG), which consists of researchers from various disciplines, including engineering, life sciences, and health. The long-term goal of his work is to develop advanced technologies and methods for creating scaffold-guided tissue and organ substitutes to treat injuries and combat infectious diseases. Dr. Chen is a fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering (CAE), the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC), the Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering (CSME), and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). He obtained his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of Saskatchewan in 2002 and completed a post-doctorate at Queen's University, Ontario in 2003. He joined the University of Saskatchewan as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, later being promoted to Associate Professor and then to full Professor in 2007 and 2010, respectively. His research interests include bioprinting, tissue engineering, the fight against infectious diseases, synchrotron-based biomedical imaging, and mechatronics. His research has been primarily supported by organizations such as the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI), the Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF), and the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC). He teaches graduate and undergraduate courses in the areas of bioprinting, tissue engineering, and control systems.
