Dr. Chih-Ming Ho (Chinese: 志明（; Pinyin: Hé Zhìmíng) holds the Ben Rich-Lockheed Martin Chair Professor at UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science. He is currently the Director of the Center for Cell Control, and was the Director of the Institute for Cell Mimetic Space Exploration. He served as the UCLA Associate Vice Chancellor for Research from 2001-2005. He received his B.S. from National Taiwan University and his Ph.D. from The Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Ho served as a faculty member at University of Southern California from 1975 to 1991 before moving to UCLA.

He has served on advisory panels to provide assistance to many countries and regions, China, France, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United Kingdom, on the development of micro/nano technologies. Dr. Ho also has served on editorship of professional journals and chaired numerous organizing committees of international conferences on high technology topics.

Honors

In 1997, Dr. Ho was inducted as a member of the US National Academy of Engineering, which is the highest honor bestowed to US engineers. In the next year, he was elected as an Academician of Academia Sinica, which honors scholars of Chinese origin with exceptional achievements in liberal arts and the sciences. Dr. Ho was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society as well as the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Dr. Ho holds seven honorary professorships at various universities in the world.
