## Conference Program Co\-Chairs
### Fu\-Ming Wang
| a1.jpg | **Fu\-Ming WANG** was born in Taipei, Taiwan. He received the B.S. and M.S. chemical engineering degree from National Taipei University of Technology (NTUT) and National Taiwan University of Science and Technology (NTUST). He received his Ph.D. degree in electrochemical engineering and lithium battery technology from National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) at 2009 in Taiwan. From 2004\~2010, he was working as a senior researcher at the energy storage division in Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan and develops polymer electrolytes, functional additives, formation process design, reversible engineering and ionic transfer mechanism investigations. From 2010\~2017, he serviced as an Assistant Professor and Associate Professor at NTUST and focused on the researches of lithium ion battery and biosensor. Prof. Wang promoted to Full Professor in 2018\. |

### Elena P.Ivanova
| a2.jpg | **Elena P. IVANOVA** received her PhD from the Institute of Microbiology and Virology in Ukraine. She served as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization and a Research Scientist at the Center of Marine Biotechnology, University of Maryland before joining at Swinburne University of Technology in 2001\. She is currently a Distinguished Professor at School of Science, RMIT University. Her interdisciplinary research bridges across several ﬁelds, ranging from biomaterials and bioengineering to material’s surface and interfacial design. Her research focuses on nanobiotechnology, design and fabrication of biomimetic materials and immobilization of bio\-molecules on materials for biomedical applications. |

## Keynote Speakers
### Shir\-Ly Huang
| a3.jpg | **Shir\-ly HUANG** is full professor and Director of the Institute of Microbiology \& Immunology, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), Taipei, Taiwan. She is the former chair of the Life Sciences Department and Director of Center for Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineering, National Central University (NCU), Chungli, Taiwan. Dr. Huang received her PhD degree in Microbiology from The University of Iowa under the supervision of Prof. David T. Gibson in 1990\. After working at Eli Lilly \& Company (Indianapolis, USA), on the antibiotics development, she returned to Taiwan to be a research scientist on new drug discovery for three years at the Development Center for Biotechnology, Taiwan. She then joined NCU as associate professor in1995 and promoted to full professor in 2004\. In 2010 and 2011, she was awarded by the Taiwan National Innovative Awards on her contribution on microbial technology. About 50 domestic and international awards have been offered to her students. Her research is focused on the bacterial degradation of aromatic contaminants with endocrine\-disrupting activity. She was recruited to NYMU in 2016\. Currently, she is also co\-appointed with Institute of Food Safety and Health Risk Assessment and International Health Program at NYMU. Her recent research interest expands to human microbiota and their relationship to health and diseases. Prof. Huang has conducted multiple\-year research grants with scientists in South Korea and Russia by the support from National Research Foundation of Korea, Far Eastern Branch of Russian Academy of Science and Ministry of Science and Technology (Taiwan). In addition, she served as the first American Society for Microbiology Country Ambassador to Taiwan. She is the founder and currently the president of Taiwan Society of Microbial Ecology and established official collaborations with Japanese Society of Microbial Ecology and the Microbiological Society of Korea. She is chairs for several international symposia including the 5th Taiwan\-Korea\-Japan Symposium on Microbial Ecology in 2013 and the 8th Asian Symposium on Microbial Ecology in 2016\. |

### Michèle Boitel\-Conti
| a4.jpg | **Michèle BOITEL\-CONTI** was born in Chelles, France. She received the M.S. Biological engineering degree from Compiegne University of Technology (UTC), France at 1980\. She received her Ph.D. degree in Microbial Biotechnologies at 1983 in France. From 1997\-2005, she was working as an assistant Professor in Agroecology, Ecophysiology and integrative Biology Laboratory (AEB) in France and developed different processes to produce molecules with interest from plant species (*Datura*/alkaloids, *Linum*/cytotoxic lignans, *Vine*/stilbens,..). From 2006\~2019, she serviced as Professor at National Picardy University and as Team leader of “Root metabolic Engineering” research group in Biology and of Plants and Innovations Laboratory (BIOPI), France. She is President of the French National Network: Specialized Plant Metabolism since 2014 (*Méta*SP). |

### Russell Crawford
| a6.jpg | **Russell CRAWFORD** is the Executive Dean of the School of Science at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. Russell obtained a Master of Science from Swinburne University of Technology and a PhD from The University of Melbourne. His previous roles include Dean of Science, Dean of the Faculty of Life \& Social Sciences and Head, School of Biophysical Sciences and Electrical Engineering at Swinburne University of Technology. He has also held the position of President, Australian Council of Deans of Science (ACDS), and is currently a member of the ACDS Executive. His research is in the broad area of surface science, with his early work focusing on the surface chemistry of mineral flotation and the removal of heavy metals from aqueous environments. His more recent research investigates the ways in which biological organisms interact with solid substrate surfaces, particularly those used in the construction of medical implants, with a view to developing implant surfaces that resist or prevent bacterial attachment. |
