Prior to UTA, Chan worked in industry for more than 10 years at Gates Learjet Corporation and Bell Helicopter Textron. He developed several analytical tools in support of Bell'’s research program for helicopter composite airframe structures. His delamination resistance concept stands, among many others, as a stellar feat of creativity and resourcefulness, and his research led to more than 200 publications in the area of composite materials. He earned his Ph.D. in aeronautics and astronautics from Purdue University, his master of science degree in engineering sciences and mechanics from Tennessee Tech, and his bachelor’s degree in engineering sciences from National Cheng-Kung University. He will be missed by all of us. --
