He has served as the Deputy Director of the International Cooperation Committee of the Association and currently serves as the Associate Editor of the Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association (JA&WMA).
Professor Yuan has been teaching at the Institute of Environmental Engineering, NSYSU, for over 30 years, nurturing numerous talents successful in their fields. He has served as the Director-General of Environmental Protection Bureau of Kaohsiung City Government and had an outstanding contribution to the improvement of the air quality of Kaohsiung.
