NCKU Senior Student’s Droplet Routing Algorithms for Digital Microfluidic Biochips Won First Place in International Competition
Tainan, Taiwan, July 14th, 2010
The Droplet Routing Algorithms for Digital Microfluidic Biochips, designed by a senior student, Mr. Tsung-Wei Huang, of Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan, has won the first place in the Student Research Competition (SRC) of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), United States.
The senior student, Mr. Tsung-Wei Huang, has travelled to Anaheim, California, to attend the Student Research Competition in mid-June along with other contestants, including master and doctoral students from internationally renowned universities, such as University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, The University of Texas at Austin and University of California, Berkeley.
Through strict evaluation, poster display and research achievements presentation, Mr. Tsung-Wei Huang, the only undergraduate student, emerged out of hundreds of contestants and won the first place of the ACM Student Research Competition.
Dr. Iris Bahar, the organizer of the Student Research Competition and a professor at Brown University, has praised Mr. Tsung-Wei Huang to be a student with outstanding research performance in the awarding ceremony.
Mr. Tsung-Wei Huang expressed, “I’m really grateful that Assistant Prof. Tsung-Yi Ho has brought me into this research field. For the Student Research Competition, Prof. Ho has not only provided me with contest information, he has also given me solid training at each stage of the competition, allowing me to fight for glory for National Cheng Kung University and Taiwan on an international stage. I’m also grateful for my parents’ support. In the future, I’ll continue my studies in the Institute of Computer Science and Information Engineering and conduct further research on chip platform.”
Mr. Tsung-Wei Huang’s Droplet Routing Algorithms for Digital Microfluidic Biochips is claimed to be the newest and most advanced scientific research in the world, and it mainly explores how to effectively develop droplet microfluidic routing system on digital microfluidic biochip platform under nanoscale, thus it can accurately complete all biochemical reactions, achieve optimal detection and elevate the operational effectiveness of microfluidic chip detection.
Digital Microfluidic Biochips is a newly developed technology of miniaturized biochemical reaction, which can be applied on environmental detection, biomedical detection, air quality detection, as well as samples of miniaturized biochemical reactions to reduce cost and achieve high sensitivity reaction.
In addition, the overall automotive control, which can make the implementation more efficient without human error, is the mainstream of the next wave of newly developed biochips, especially in the industries of biomedicine and electronics, as it’s favored by many scientists and medical personnel.
Mr. Tsung-Wei Huang has published three papers in international conferences, including 2009 IEEE International Conference on Computer Design (ICCD), 2009 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Computer-Aided Design (ICCAD) and 2010 ACM International Symposium on Physical Design (ISPD).
The research achievements of Mr. Tsung-Wei Huang have been submitted in the journal of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (TCAD), the best journal in the field of electrical design automation, and have been accepted for publication, marking a record of a young Taiwanese student publishing paper in a top journal.
