About

Professor Fu-Kuo Chang is a faculty member in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Stanford University. His primary research interests focus on multi-functional materials and intelligent structures, with particular emphasis on structural health monitoring, intelligent self-sensing diagnostics, and multifunctional energy storage composites for transportation vehicles, safety-critical assets, and medical devices. His specialties include embedded sensors and stretchable sensor networks with built-in self-diagnostics, integrated diagnostics and prognostics, damage tolerance and failure analysis for composite materials, and advanced multi-physics computational methods for multi-functional structures. Most of his work involves system integration and multi-disciplinary engineering, combining structural mechanics, electrical engineering, signal processing, and multi-scale fabrication of materials. Recent research topics include multifunctional energy storage composites, integrated health management for aircraft structures, bio-inspired intelligent sensory materials for fly-by-feel autonomous vehicles, active sensing diagnostics for composite structures, and self-diagnostics for high-temperature materials. Professor Chang earned his PhD from Michigan in 1983.
