National Central University
National Central University has been leading in the advances of economy, science and technology in modern Asia since its foundation in 1915. The campus is home to more than 12,000 students, 900 faculty members and 300 staff members. The ratio of graduate to undergraduate students is 1 to 1. As a leading research university, we can enumerate world-class scientific projects ranging from the Research Center for Adaptive Data Analysis, headed by Academician Norden E. Huang of Hilbert-Huang transformation (HHT), to the Hakka College of Ethnic and Cultural Studies. The close attention to Taiwan?s economy, society and culture as well as international affairs and frontier science and technology thus makes ?NCU in Taiwan for Taiwan and the World? our motto.
We, National Central University (NCU), have devoted ourselves to cultivating talents, pursuing excellence, and becoming a first-rate university. Ever since NCU was reestablished in Taiwan in 1962, the entire university has joined hands in its operation, and turned it into the fastest growing research university in Taiwan. Emphasizing on both teaching and research, some research fields have made brilliant performances that are at the top of the world. Key research developments have been focused in Earth System Science and Environmental Technology, Space Science Technology and Astronomy, Plasma Technology and Complex Systems, Optics and Optoelectronics, and Humanities and Digital Technology. We have built up large equipments that have strong competitiveness, including PC cluster equipment, a 2 m telescope, a 100 TW laser, and an e-beam lithography system. Furthermore, we are also enthusiastically developing world-class research centers, including the Research Center for Adaptive Data Analysis led by Academician Norden E. Huang, and the GPS Scientific Application Research Center based on FormoSat-3.
