Teo Ee Chon

Biography

Dr Teo Ee Chon is currently working in the School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore as Associate Professor. A/P Teo is academically trained in the UK. Both his BSc and MSc in Engineering field from University of Nottingham. Immediately after his MSc study in 1978, he joined Ford Motor Co in UK as a stress engineer for a period of four years. During that period, he used NASTRAN FE software extensively in the analysis of passengers’ vehicle chasis components. A/P Teo joined NTI in 1982. While working as a lecturer, he also did his part-time PhD studies in the field of bioengineering with University of Strathclyde and graduated in 1996. His area of research interest is mainly in human spine, foot and ankle couple with shoe/boot wear. Over these years, he has developed geometrically and biomechanically accurate finite element models of human cervical, lumbar and thoracic spine, foot and ankle to analyze various biomechanics problems of relevance to biological science. He has published numerous papers in prestige international journals and conferences.
