作者簡介:林劉恭
美國紐約州立大學石溪分校(SUNY at Stony Brook, 現改稱Stony Brook University, 簡稱SBU)高分子物理化學博士，國立台灣大學化學系學士，曾兼任過數個大學系所教職，寫了三十餘篇學術及會議論文，工業界資歷二十餘年，擁有八十餘個各國專利；曾經創業兩次，做過噴墨頭驅動晶片及墨水匣、工業用噴墨印表機、噴墨奈米銀/銅墨水、彩色(CMYK)墨水以及各種基材之特用溶劑噴墨墨水、半導體DRAM、FLASH、MROM記憶體與邏輯IC，以及微機電相關製程與製造。
學術研究: 壓電噴墨頭微流體動力學之噴墨液滴成型模擬，重力與親斥水影響下的熱氣泡成長模型探討，以及微幫浦霧化器藥物運送；使用同步輻射小角度X光散射(SAXS)以及離心力研究高分子相分離與相關臨界現象，以及超高分子黏度，高離心力下的液態高分子中之固體小球體運動現象等相關研究。
