Dr. Andrew Tay is currently an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS) and a Visiting Scientist at the Singapore Hybrid-Integrated Next-Generation μ-Electronics Centre (SHINE), NUS. Prior to this he was a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at NUS. He obtained his B.E. (Hons I and University Medal) and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of New South Wales, Australia. His research interests include electronics packaging (thermo-mechanical failures, delamination, effects of moisture, solder joint reliability); thermal management of electronic systems and EV batteries, infrared and thermo-reflectance thermography, solar photovoltaics reliability, and fracture mechanics.
He is currently a member of the Board of Governors of the IEEE Electronics Packaging Society (EPS), the EPS Director of Chapter Programs, and a Distinguished Lecturer of EPS. He was the inaugural General Chair of the 1st Electronics Packaging Technology Conference (EPTC) in 1997 and currently the Chairman of the EPTC Board. He was awarded the 2019 IEEE EPS David Feldman Outstanding Contribution Award, the 2012 IEEE CPMT Exceptional Technical Achievement Award, and the 2012 IEEE CPMT Regional Contributions Award. For his outstanding contributions in the application of engineering mechanics to electronics and/or photonics packaging, he was awarded the ASME EPPD Engineering Mechanics Award in 2004. He was also awarded an IEEE Third Millennium Medal in 2000. He is a Fellow of ASME and a Life Fellow of IEEE.
