welcome to National Central University

Every year the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE) elects top elites in the medical and biological engineering field as their Fellows, and this year Dr. Akon Higuchi, Chair Professor of the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering at NCU, was inducted into the AIMBE Fellow.

The Sang Soo Lee Award, established jointly by the OSA and the OSK, recognizes eminent individuals who have made a major contribution to the development of optics and photonics in their home countries through their endeavor to conduct outstanding research and education and eventually have acquired substantial academic and economic results.

Multi-satellite remote sensing is an indispensable part of a modern state’s spatial information infrastructure. The CSRSR at NCU and AIRBUS, the European multinational corporation, formally signed a contract to activate the “direct reception” of SPOT-6 and SPOT-7 earth observing satellite data, making CSRSR an official DRS of SPOT-6/7.

By collecting and examining satellite remote sensing data and long-term fisheries statistics, Dr. Oey Lie-Yauw, Professor of the Graduate Institute of Hydrological and Oceanic Sciences (IHOS) at NCU, and his research team discovered that about 40% of changes in mackerel catches were influenced by the change of the Kuroshio, the “Black Current” in Japanese.

Ms. Duann Yi, a graduate student at the Graduate Institute of Space Science (GISS) at NCU, teamed up with fellow students William Evonovsky from the University of Colorado and Kaustubh Anand Kandi from the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) to participate in the Pre5th Mission Idea Contest (MIC) established by University Space Engineering Consortium (UNISEC) in Rome, Italy, at the end of 2017.
