Biography

BS, MIT, Materials Science and Engineering MSC and PhD, Carnegie Mellon University, Materials Science and Engineering Chateaubriand Postdoctoral Fellow, ENS-Saclay (Cachan) MBA, Memorial University of Newfoundland Dr. Amy Hsiao is a Professor at the Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering at the University of Prince Edward Island. Dr. Hsiao's expertise is in the concurrent characterization of materials properties and processes for sustainable applications. She is active in applied research where Materials Science and Engineering contributes to innovations in Sustainability, specifically for renewable energy, advanced manufacturing, the circular economy, and biomedical-materials advances. Currently she leads projects or collaborates with industry on 3D metal printing using direct metal laser sintering, novel magnetic alloys for more electric vessels, leading edge blade corrosion and integrity, and novel self-healing coatings for marine and harsh environments. She enjoys and welcomes industrial collaborations related to accelerated corrosion testing, the engineering of novel coatings, and the characterization and selection of materials and optimization of material processes for various environments. To date she has authored over 50 peer-reviewed publications and is the principal investigator or co-PI on both industry-led research collaborations and government initiatives that total over $6M. Dr. Hsiao's depth of scholarly service focuses on engineering education, engineering leadership, and the development of a sustainability mindset in engineering graduates and in the engineering workplace. Amy is the recipient of the 2022 Engineers PEI Engineering Award for Excellence, the 2020 IEEE Canadian Atlantic Section Outstanding Engineering Education Award, a Fellow of the Canadian Engineering Education Association – L’Association Canadienne de L’Éducation en Génie, a Fellow of Engineers Canada, the recipient of The Association of Professional Engineers of the Province of Prince Edward Island Advancement of Diversity in the Engineering Profession Award in 2018 and the 2014 recipient of the Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Newfoundland and Labrador Teaching Award.
