welcome to National Central University

The Radar Meteorology Laboratory under the Department of Atmospheric Sciences (DAS) at National Central University (NCU), for its research excellence, was invited by Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) to join the observation experiment held during the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Game. The experiment was an international and large-scale observation experiment supported by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). NCU research crew was the only team from the subtropical region, being worthy of the pride of Taiwan.

Singularity University (SU) in the United States and Taiwan Tech Arena (TTA) co-organized the 2018 SingularityU APAC Global Impact Challenge (SingularityU GIC). The team “Vibrasee” from National Central University (NCU) became the SU Ventures Award winner with the project “Micro Vibration Detector,” the optical technology application in detecting Parkinson’s disease. “Vibrasee” and the other team “WeavAir” both won the SU Ventures Award.

The editorial “Space, Still the Final Frontier” on the world-renowned scientific journal Science published in July 2018 discussed the new trend of space science development from huge satellites to small ones, taking as an example the International Satellite Program in Research and Education (INSPIRE), in which National Central University in Taiwan was involved.

“To search for flammable ice, briefly speaking, is to look for solid gas (natural gas),” said Dr. Hsu Shu-Kun, Professor at the Department of Earth Sciences (DES) of NCU. As an island that lacks energy, Taiwan relies on import for 99% of its energy.

Wu Ta-You Memorial Award, established by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), is to encourage the academic development of younger researchers and award the grants. Dr. Takeshi Emura, Japanese Associate Professor at the Graduate Institute of Statistics (GIS) of National Central University (NCU), was elected the one of the winners of the award in 2017 for his outstanding research accomplishment in statistics.
