Jingkuang Chen’s PhD dissertation research focused on the development of microfluidic systems on silicon for selective drug delivery to the central nervous system and for inkjet printing. From 1996 to 2004 he was a member of the research staff at Xerox Wilson Research Center, working on development of SOI MEMS optical systems and plastic microfluidic devices for printing applications.

His research interests are in the areas of implantable transducer systems for medical diagnosis/treatment, porous silicon materials/devices as light source or bio-sensing elements, nanomaterial/structures for use in biochemical analysis and sensing, and MEMS ultrasound imaging systems. He joined ECE@UNM in 2004.

One of his graduate students, Xiaoyang Cheng, was awarded two meritbased student travel grants in 2008, one to attend a high-level MEMS research conference in June, the Hilton Head Workshop, and one in October for IEEE’s Ultrasonic Symposium.
