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.

Sponsored by the GSSAP established by the MOST, Dr. Huang Chen-Han, Assistant professor of the Department of Biomedical Sciences and Engineering at NCU, visited the top medical schools and institutes of the world — HMS of Harvard University and MGH to conduct research, developing the iEAT, the medical device for allergens detection in the Internet of Things.
