EYK Ng, PhD, earned his PhD at Cambridge University. His research is in thermal imaging, biomedical engineering, and computational fluid dynamics and heat transfer. He is a faculty member at the Nanyang Technological University. He has published 260 papers in SCI journals (173), conference proceedings (35), and textbook chapters (72), and has co-authored 9 books. Ng is editor-in-chief for the Journal of Mechanics in Medicine & Biology and Journal of Medical Imaging & Health Informatics, and is strategy associate editor-in-chief for the World Journal of Clinical Oncology. Jen Hong Tan, PhD, earned his PhD from Nanyang Technological University, where he specialized in 2D biosignal processing. He is an application research engineer working on projects such as computer-aided diagnosis in posterior-anterior chest radiograph (with SATA Commhealth Singapore), and non-contact tear evaporimetry using infrared thermography (with Singapore Eye Research Institute). U Rajendra Acharya, PhD, DEng, is a visiting faculty member at Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore, adjunct faculty at Singapore Institute of Technology- University of Glasgow/Singapore Joint Campus, and associate faculty in SIM University, Singapore. He earned his PhD from the National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal, India, and his DEng from Chiba University, Japan. He has published more than 240 papers, in refereed international SCI-IF journals (145), international conference proceedings (42), textbook chapters (62), and books (11 including in press) with h-index of 16 (Scopus). He has worked on various funded projects with grants worth more than 1.5 million SGD. Jasjit S. Suri, MS, PhD, MBA, Fellow AIMBE, is an innovator, scientist, and internationally known world leader who has spent over 20 years in the field of biomedical engineering/sciences and its management. He earned his doctorate from the University of Washington, Seattle, and his MBA from Weatherhead, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland. Suri was awarded the President’s Gold Medal in 1980 by the Directorate General National Cadet Corps and has been named a Fellow of American Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering for his outstanding contributions.
