Men-Tzung Lo

Men-Tzung Lo, Ph.D., is a Professor at the Department of Biomedical Sciences and Engineering at the Institute of Translational and Interdisciplinary Medicine at National Central University. Dr. Lo obtained his Ph.D. in Communication Engineering from National Taiwan University for his works on biomedical signal and image processing as well as biomedical imaging and drug delivery system. He acquired his post-doctoral training in Taipei Veteran General Hospital and Syncope and Falls in the Elderly (SAFE) Laboratory at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard medical school for applying novel nonlinear signal analysis to multiple biomedical signals from different disease groups to explore their underlying properties and quantifying the properties altered from normal as parameters for severity or prognosis of diseases. His two main research interests are time varying interactions between multiple biological signals of human subjects and the changes of nonlinear properties in different physiological and pathological statuses. He designed an automatic ECG analysis system for detecting QT intervals on noisy signal applied to assess the influences of the endogenous circadian rhythm on cardiac function; he designed a robust and adaptable multichannel data acquisition system for assessment of cerebral blood flow regulation; he designed a novel analytical tool for extracting and quantifying rhythms in complex physiological; and he has been instrumental in the analysis of large sets of heart rate variability data in several on-going projects with the collaborators in Boston, USA.
