NASA Langley Research Center USA
Dr. Ji Su is a Research Engineer at the Advanced Materials and Processing Branch, NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, Virginia, USA. He received his Bachelor¡¯s degree in Polymeric Based Composite Materials from Harbin Civil Engineering Institute in 1982 and his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Rutgers-The State University in 1995. Before he joined NASA Langley Research Center, he was a Senior Research Scientist at ICASE. His research areas include the development of high performance electroactive polymers (EAPs) and polymer composites, electroactive materials-based devices (sensors and actuators), and their applications in smart structures for aeronautics and aerospace technologies and in artificial muscles and biomimetic technologies. Dr. Su also develops nano-structured multifunctional composite materials. He have had more than 80 technical publications, 12 issued US and international patents, and six US and international patents pending. He has given more than 70 technical presentations including more than 25 invited and keynote presentations on EAP related materials and applications. He has also chaired and co-chaired more than 20 EAPs/smart materials and smart structures/systems conferences and conference sessions, contributed five book chapters, and co-edited a book. Dr. Su taught a short course on electroactive polymers and applications at SPIE Smart Structures and Materials Meetings in 2004 and 2005.
