7th International Conference on the Development of Biomedical Engineering in Vietnam (BME7) (eBook)

This volume presents the proceedings of the 7th International Conference on the Development of Biomedical Engineering in Vietnam which was held from June 27-29, 2018 in Ho Chi Minh City. The volume reflects the progress of Biomedical Engineering and discusses problems and solutions. It aims to identify new challenges, and shaping future directions for research in biomedical engineering fields including medical instrumentation, bioinformatics, biomechanics, medical imaging, drug delivery therapy, regenerative medicine and entrepreneurship in medical devices.



Professor Vo Van Toi obtained his Ph.D in Micro-Engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland in 1983. From 1983-1984, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Health Science and Technology Division, a joint program of Harvard-MIT (USA). From 1984 to 2009, he was a faculty of the School of Engineering at Tufts University (USA). During his tenure at Tufts, from 1991 to 1992 he was a Visiting Professor at the Scheie Eye Research Institute of University of Pennsylvania (USA), from 1992 to 1994 he helped create and was the Vice-Director of the Eye Research Institute in Sion (Switzerland), in 2003 he helped establish the Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department at Tufts and from 2004 to 2009 he was a member of the Board of Directors then Executive Director of the Vietnam Education Foundation (VEF), a U.S. federal agency. In 2009, he went back to Vietnam to establish the BME Department at International University of Vietnam National Universities in Ho Chi Minh City and has been its Chair since. His research interests include Design and Applications of Medical Devices, Human Visual System, Ophthalmology, and Telemedicine. He is the (co)author of many scientific articles, books and patents of invention.
