welcome to National Central University

Under the guidance of Dr. Lin, Yuan-Chien — an Associate Professor from the Department of Civil Engineering, the team including postgraduates Chi, Wan-Ju and Lin, Yong-Qing from Hydrological and Environmental Informatics Laboratory integrated the application of Internet of Things (IoT) and spatiotemporal big data analysis, and developed novel data fusion technology to provide high spatiotemporal resolution PM2.5 concentration information. The results were published in a top SCI international journal "Environment International" in the field of environmental science.

The research team led by Assistant Professor E Ray Hsieh in the Dept. of Electrical Engineering at NCU has developed a new type of three-dimensional Fe Fin Field-Effect Transistor (FeFinFET) NVM, which is highly efficient and energy-saving. It can operate under 3V and take only 80 nanoseconds to complete operation. Furthermore, it has a linear-tuning window of conductance that is 30,000 times wider (Fig. 2), its continual endurance cycles exceeded one million times (Fig. 3), and it has the ideal activation function of AI (Fig. 4). These characteristics make FeFinFET NVMs very suitable for highly dense storage with multi-bit-per-cell capacity and AI inference applications based on in-memory computing. This research has been selected by an international flagship conference—2021 Symposia on VLSI Technology—to be covered in its Focus Session.

The list of winners of the 2021 Future Tech Awards was just released. Thirteen NCU research teams won the prizes, and another 13 technologies were nominated to the final list for demonstration. NCU took the stage at the 2021 FUTEX in the fields of space technology, atmospheric sciences, materials, biotechnology, cognitive neuroscience, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering. The technologies developed by the NCU teams were gaining favors with the reviewers. NCU was one of the biggest winners in the 2021 Future Tech Awards, demonstrating NCU’s strength in research development and innovation.

The organic photovoltaics (OPV) mini-module co-developed by the Research Center of New Generation Light Driven Photovoltaic Modules (RCNPV) at National Central University (NCU) and Ways Technical Corp., Ltd./Nanobit Tech. had just set a new world record efficiency of 13.6%！

Flames burning in the dark fly about with arms on the field, leaving traces splendid and brilliant to our eyes. A total of 301 clubs participated in the 2021 National Evaluation of Clubs, and the Fire Dance Art Club from NCU was honorably awarded the “Best Club Feature Award.”
