Tainan, Taiwan, April 8th, 2010
The National Science Council, Executive Yuan, Taiwan, announced the winners of 2009 Outstanding Research Award. Among the 90 winners, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) occupied 9 seats, only second to that of National Taiwan University (NTU).
The NCKU winners of the Outstanding Research Award are the Senior Executive Vice-President - Prof. Hwung-Hweng Hwung of Department of Hydraulics and Ocean Engineering, Prof. Hua-Lin Wu of Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Prof. Kuei-Sen Hsu of Department of Pharmacology, Prof. Jow-Lay Huang of Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Prof. Ruey-Jen Yang of Department of Engineering Science, Prof. Fei-Bin Hsiao of Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Prof. H. Paul Wang of Department of Environmental Engineering, Prof. Fan-Tien Cheng of Institute of Manufacturing Information and Systems and Prof. Tong-Yee Lee of Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering.
The National Science Council, Executive Yuan, rewards scientific and technical talents of outstanding research achievements and encourages them to engage in long-term academic or academia-industry research, in order to elevate the academic research standard and the international academic reputation of Taiwan as well as to elevate the industrial technical research achievements and industrial technical development strength.
The National Science Council selects outstanding research talents annually. The numbers of winners allowed are 88 in the academic research category and 5 in the academia-industry research category. Each winner receives incentive payments for 3 consecutive years, NT$300,000 annually, in addition to the certificate.
The outstanding academic research achievements of Prof. Hwung-Hweng Hwung of Department of Hydraulics and Ocean Engineering are the characteristics of nonlinear wave slopes, the characteristics of two phase flow of boundary layer in surf and swash zone, the characteristics of layer fluids of wave motion, the research of tsunami spread and beach line erosion and the analytic technology and application of digital image water level monitor.
