They are actively involved in the journal’s activities and together, we are committed to elevating Sensors International into a high-quality journal in the field.

Professor Xiaojing Mu

Professor Mu received a Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the National University of Singapore in 2013. He worked as a Research Scientist with the Institute of Microelectronics (IME), A*STAR, Singapore, from 2013 to 2015. He is currently a Full Professor with the College of Optoelectronic Engineering at Chongqing University, China. He also serves as the Deputy Executive Director with the Key Disciplines Lab of Novel Micro-Nano Devices and System Technology, Chongqing University, and as Director of National Center for International Research, Micro-Nano System and New Material Technologies.

Prof Mu has authored over 100 SCI journal articles and authorized/applied for 60 patents. His research interests include MEMS/NEMS, Energy Harvesters, Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (MUTs), Metasurface technologies, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW)/Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) sensors/filters, and Piezoelectric thin film-based devices.

Keywords in his research field: MEMS, NEMS, Piezoelectric thin Film, Energy Harvesting, Micromachined Ultrasonic Transducers (MUTs), Metasurface technologies, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW)/Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) sensors/filters

Professor Chengkuo (Vincent) Lee

Professor Lee received a Ph.D. degree in precision engineering from The University of Tokyo, Japan, in 1996. Currently, he is the GlobalFoundries Chair Professor in Engineering and director of the Center for Intelligent Sensors and MEMS at the National University of Singapore (NUS). He co-founded Asia Pacific Microsystems, Inc. (APM) in 2001, where he was Vice President of R&D from 2001 to 2005. From 2006 to 2009, he served as a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at the Institute of Microelectronics (IME), A-STAR, Singapore.

Prof Lee’s research interests include Sensors, MEMS, NEMS, nanophotonics, Si Photonics, metamaterials, energy harvesting, wearable sensors, flexible electronics, artificial intelligence of things (AIoT), Internet of Things (IoT), electroceuticals and biomedical applications. He has trained nearly 40 Ph.D. students who graduated from NUS Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. He has co-authored more than 480 journal articles and 380 conference papers, and holds 10 US patents. His Google Scholar citation is more than 30,000.

According to data from Scopus till October 1, 2023, Elsevier has assessed the academic performance of the top 100,000 scientists worldwide by c-score, with the top 2% scientists in 174 sub-fields, totaling more than 200,000 scientists. In this evaluation, Professor Lee is ranked 13,936 globally in total citations (excluding self-citations) among all scientists, boasting an h-index of 62 (excluding self-citations). In the specific sub-field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, he holds a global rank of 288 based on the composite indicator score. Furthermore, Prof Lee’s D-index (Discipline H-index) ranks 300 among all the electronics and electrical engineering scientists globally, based on the data till December 21, 2022.

Keywords in his research field: MEMS, NEMS, nanophotonics, Si Photonics, metamaterials, energy harvesting, nano energy, wearable sensor, flexible sensor, artificial intelligence of things (AIoT), Internet of Things (IoT)

Meanwhile, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to retiring Editor-in-Chief Tejraj Aminabhavi for his notable contributions to the journal. Additionally, we thank all our reviewers, authors and readers for their invaluable support and dedication.
