Chih-Hao Chang’s research focuses on developing 2D/3D multifunctional nanostructures with novel physical properties and novel scalable nanomanufacturing techniques based on both “top-down” and “bottom-up” principles. Dr. Chang received his B.S. (2002) from the Georgia Institute of Technology and his M.S. (2004) and Ph.D. (2008) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), all in Mechanical Engineering. From 2011 to 2019, he was a faculty at the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at North Carolina State University (NCSU). Dr. Chang received the Early Career Faculty Award from National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in 2012, the Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Award from the Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) in 2013, and the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2016. He also received the Outstanding Teacher Award from NCSU in 2015 and was named a University Faculty Scholar by NCSU in 2016. Dr. Chang is a Professor in the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. He currently holds the Earl N. & Margaret Brasfield Endowed Faculty Fellowship in Engineering and is a Topical Editor for the journal Applied Optics.
