Research Expertise Relevant to IHP
• Blast- and impact-induced brain and cervical spine injury mechanisms
• Impulse noise exposure, hearing risk, and occupational health assessment
• Numerical modeling of acoustic pressure distribution in the human ear canal
• Wearable health monitoring systems and heat-stress early warning technologies
Selected Health-Oriented Research Projects
• Integrated assessment of cervical spine and brain injury under blast and ballistic impact
• Numerical analysis of impulse noise–induced pressure distribution in the human ear canal
• Occupational noise measurement and hearing evaluation in high-risk working environments
• Development of biodegradable magnesium alloy components for trauma-related bone defect repair
• Wearable smart helmet system with integrated heat-stress early warning functions
Collaboration with IHP / Public Health
Dr. Tsai’s expertise aligns closely with the mission of the International Health Program through interdisciplinary collaboration in:
• Occupational Health: assessment of noise exposure, hearing protection strategies, and workplace health risk mitigation
• Disaster and War-Related Injury: blast-induced trauma, mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), and injury prevention under extreme events
• Global Health Capacity Building: supervision of international graduate students and development of transferable analytical tools for health risk assessment in low- and middle-income countries
Graduate Supervision and Training
• Wearable health monitoring systems for extreme and resource-limited environments
• Occupational exposure and environmental health risk assessment
• Blast-related mild traumatic brain injury and injury thresholds
• Impulse noise–induced auditory injury and hearing health
