Editor Biography

Soon after Fan‐Tien Cheng graduated from the department of Electrical Engineering of National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in 1976, he got in the Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology (CSIST), Taiwan, ROC, serving as Research Assistant at the most basic level and then got promoted to Senior Scientist in 19 years. Then he went back to NCKU to start his teaching career and devoted the knowledge and practices he had learned in CSIST to the research domains of production improvement, manufacturing automation, and e‐manufacturing for industries such as semiconductor, TFT–LCD, solar cell, machine tool, and aerospace to help achieve the goal of enhancing the industry competitiveness by successfully improving manufacturing processes and lowering production cost.

Professor Cheng has devoted himself to the academic research and industrial applications of the Intelligent Manufacturing and Industry 4.0 for the past decades and his accomplishments are eminent. Among them, the academic and applied research of Automatic Virtual Metrology (AVM) are especially unmatched worldwide. More than 40 journal papers related to VM had won him dozens of patents from Taiwan ROC, USA, Japan, China, Germany, and Korea; and 54 technology transfers had been successfully executed on several high‐tech industries such as semiconductor (TSMC, UMC, ASE, and SUMCO), TFT–LCD (Innolux and CPT), solar cell (Motech); and traditional industries like aerospace (AIDC), machine tool industry (FEMCO/FATEK), blow molding machine (ChumPower), and carbon fiber (FPC), as well as foundations, constituted as a juristic person (ITRI and MIRDC).

Some of Professor Cheng’s honors and awards include 2011 Award for Outstanding Contributions in Science and Technology, Executive Yuan, Taiwan, ROC, three times ofMinistry of Science and Technology(MoST) Outstanding Research Award (2006, 2009, 2013), three times of the National Invention and Creation Award ofMinistry of Economic Affairs(MoEA) (2011, 2012, 2018), University‐Industry Economic Contribution Award from MoEA, Industry‐University Cooperation Award for College Teachers, Ministry of Education (MoE), NCKU Chair Professor since January 2009, 17^th TECO Award from TECO Technology Foundation, 2010, 2013 IEEE Inaba Technical Award for Innovation Leading to Production (for contributions to the development of the AVM System), 2014 Outstanding Research Award of Pan Wen Yuan Foundation, and 2015 20^th Outstanding Achievement Award of The Phi Tau Phi Scholastic Honor Society. Moreover, Professor Cheng won IEEE Fellow since January 2008, two times of IEEE ICRA Best Automation Paper Award (1999 and 2013) as well as CASE 2017 Best Application Paper Award. He is currently in his second‐term of President of Chinese Institute of Automation Engineers (CIAE) since 2017. Besides, he is the Senior Editor of the IEEE T‐ASE since October 2017. Furthermore, he is honored to be the IEEE CASE Conference Steering Committee Chair since September 2020.
