Dr. Hsiao Wei Lee is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Taiwan. He received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from NCKU in 2014, his M.S. in Civil (Structural) Engineering from National Taiwan University in 2016, and his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from the University at Buffalo, USA, in 2023. From 2023 to 2025, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Drexel University, where he contributed to a DARPA-funded project on biomimetic self-healing cementitious composites. His research focuses on theoretical and computational mechanics, fatigue and fracture mechanics, Unified Mechanics Theory, and damage–healing simulations. His notable work includes entropy-based fatigue-life prediction for metals affected by corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement and computational modeling of fracture and healing in self-healing composites. He currently leads a multi-year project funded by Taiwan’s National Science and Technology Council on fatigue-life prediction of aerospace metallic components.
