Singapore

Dr Desmond Chong is currently an Associate Professor with the Engineering Cluster of Singapore Institute of Technology. He is also a Visiting Associate Professor with the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery of University of Malaya, and Virtual Visiting Professor with the Faculty of Medicine of Prince of Songkla University. He is a recipient of the Singapore Biodesign Faculty Fellowship in 2021. His research interests are in the areas of orthopaedic and musculoskeletal biomechanics, finite element analysis and experimentation, medical devices design, and human motion analyses. He is an active member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and a senior member of The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES). He had served as the Chair of the ASME Singapore Section, District G Leader (Asia Pacific), and Chair for International Regions of the Member Development & Engagement Sector. He received the ASME Dedicated Service Award in 2022 for his voluntary service to the society.
