Six young scholars of NSYSU receive the Young Scholar Fellowship of the Ministry of Science and Technology
(Provided by the Office of Research and Development) Six young scholars of National Sun Yat-sen University obtained the Young Scholar Fellowship of the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), setting a record for NSYSU with the largest number of winners of the Fellowship in recent years. For the sake of keeping social distance during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Fellowship Certificates were handed in to the awardees by NSYSU President Ying-Yao Cheng on behalf of the Minister Liang-Gee Chen. President Cheng said that the University provided an excellent research environment for young scholars and that he hoped that all the teachers of the University could obtain excellent research achievements in the future at NSYSU.
To promote academic innovation among young scholars, and cultivate a new generation of scholars with innovative research capacities, MOST has launched the program of Young Scholar Fellowship in September 2018. The number of awardees of the University has been growing year by year, with a total number of 13 young teachers-awardees. From April 2019 to April 2020, six teachers were awarded the Fellowship, including Assistant Professor Chih-Wei Chen of the Department of Applied Mathematics – fellow of the Columbus Program, Assistant Professor Chin-Hung Lin of the Department of Applied Mathematics, Assistant Professor Thijs Velema of the Department of Business Management, Assistant Professor Wei-Liang Chuang of the Department of Marine Environment and Engineering, Assistant Professor Hsuan-Hung Liao of the Department of Chemistry, and Assistant Professor Wen-Fan Chen of the Institute of Medical Science and Technology – fellows of the Einstein Program.
The project of Assistant Professor Chih-Wei Chen of the Department of Applied Mathematics concentrates on the research on data science and mathematical theory, which can improve the precision of big data analysis in the future. Assistant Professor Chin-Hung Lin of the same Department researches Laplace's method and its application, and big data applications such as developing data clustering and the reduction of data dimensions. Both professors have had a big contribution to the integral development of the University’s AI operation platform.
Assistant Professor Thijs Velema of the Department of Business Management studied how the producers deconstruct the composition of a label and use its implicit framework for product innovation. The University promotes the innovative spirit among the students and further debates on the production differentiation of innovative products – this can be incorporated into the courses at the Si-Wan College Creativity Base.
Assistant Professor Wei-Liang Chuang of the Department of Marine Environment and Engineering studied the air compressibility effects under high-speed impacts of fluid flows and developed a two-phase flow experimental technology to quantize their physical mechanisms, providing an important foundation for the future evaluation of the extreme hydrodynamic loading. This is closely related to the University’s leading research on Kuroshio Current power generation, including floating offshore wind turbine or marine current power generating units, which are also influenced by the wave crest.
Assistant Professor Hsuan-Hung Liao of the Department of Chemistry developed a completely new synthesis technology to prepare active substances and their derivatives, hoping to synthesize new pharmaceutical ingredients. Assistant Professor Wen-Fan Chen of the Institute of Medical Science and Technology developed magnetic nanoparticles for single 3D brackets, hoping to treat primary bone tumors and improve the treatment of bone metastasis of malignant tumors in the future. The two professors are earnestly engaged in the establishment of the Department of Post Baccalaureate Medicine and the College of Medicine.
President Ying-Yao Cheng said that the work of the six young scholars represented the brilliant performance of National Sun Yat-sen University of the next 40 years. He also mentioned that the University was established 40 years ago, and is now in the stage of generational alternation. The University also promotes the Young Teacher Generation Connection Project, which cancels the limitations of teachers’ quotas for departments and institutes, and includes a comprehensive list of teachers who are to retire within 3 to 5 years. Taking the development of social enterprises and international trends
into consideration, NSYSU gives priority to recruiting young teachers to join the faculty and research teams. Young teachers who join are guided by senior teachers; this allows the transmission of knowledge and lets the University maintain its high standards of teaching, research, and development. Recently, the University has recruited dozens of new teachers. President Cheng expressed his hope that the young teachers would be the leaders of innovation at the University, pursue excellence, and follow the global trends in research for the University to become one of the top 200 universities in the world and support the continuous development of National Sun Yat-sen University.
