He is managing editor of the International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems, a topic editor of Sensors, and an associate editor of the International Journal of Asian Business and Information Management and the International Journal of Energy Optimization and Engineering. He has also been a guest editor of Future Generation Computer Systems, the Journal of Innovation and Knowledge, Sustainability, Sensors, Energies, Applied Sciences, and the Journal of Internet Technology. He won first prize in the IEEE Hong Kong Section postgraduate student paper contest in 2013, second prize in the 2014 IEEE Region 10 Student Paper Contest, and best-paper awards at the IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics–China in 2014 and 2015. In February 2025 Hong Kong Metropolitan University awarded him its Silver Prize for an enhanced transfer-learning algorithm aimed at small datasets.

Chi-Wen Lung

Asia University, Taiwan

Chi-Wen Lung is professor and chair of the Department of Creative Product Design at Asia University, Taichung, and a professor in the Department of Bioinformatics and Medical Engineering, where he leads the BioDesign Lab. He earned a bachelor’s degree in industrial design from Dayeh University in 1995, a master’s degree in industrial design from Tatung University in 1997, and a PhD in biomedical engineering from National Yang-Ming University in 2008. His doctorate, supervised by Sai-Wei Yang, examined how the structure of the foot affects the biomechanics of walking. He then completed postdoctoral training at the Information Technology Research Center for Sports and Health in the Institute of Intelligent Machines, Chinese Academy of Sciences, developing instruments for rehabilitation research.

He has also been a visiting scholar in the Department of Kinesiology and Community Health at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Before his faculty career he spent six years in medical-product research and development and was a supervisor in the Job Accommodation Office of the Taipei City Bureau of Labor Affairs. His research covers soft-tissue biomechanics and the pressure between the body and orthoses, footwear, and wheelchair cushions, together with rehabilitation engineering, diabetic-foot care, gait analysis, and deep learning applied to medical images. He has published 89 articles indexed in Scopus, including 48 papers in SCI journals, and he has authored or edited four books. He has been a guest editor of three special issues in SCI journals, including Sensors and Frontiers in Physiology. He has filed 44 patents, 29 in Taiwan and 15 in China.

Student teams he has advised have won 18 awards at international invention exhibitions, four of them gold, six silver, and eight bronze, at venues including ITEX, the Concours Lépine in Paris, and the Seoul International Invention Fair. A blood-flow velocity detection system from his group received a 2025 iF Design Award and a European Product Design Award, and a student team he advised received a 2022 iF Design Student Award. Since 2021 the National Science and Technology Council has given him its university research reward for three years. He currently leads council projects that use artificial intelligence and optical coherence tomography to assess skin and diabetic-foot wounds, including a Taiwan–India collaboration running through 2027. He is a member of the Taiwanese Society of Biomechanics.
