The department develops six research areas, based on the research focuses of faculty members. Each research area has senior professors who are responsible for leading young professors, in cross-discipline research projects. It is easy to see that the department has different focuses toward a multi-discipline curriculum. We believe our research and teaching quality may be superior to others while maintaining a competitive status as compared to top rank universities in Taiwan.
