Research Highlights


A fruitful collaboration between Lulin Observatory and citizen scientists
The GREAT Lab at the Graduate Institute of Astronomy is a member ofthe ATLAS survey team and, in 2024, discovered SN 2024ggi in thegalaxy NGC 3621, one of the closest core-collapse supernovae to Earthfound in the past decade, at a distance of about 21.7 million light-years.Assistant Professor Ting-Wan Chen obtained very early observationswith the 40 cm SLT telescope at Lulin Observatory just 14 hours afterthe explosion, and combined LOT spectroscopy with SLT photometry tocarr


Congratulations to Professor Li-Hsien Sun on being elected as a Member of the International Statistical Institute (ISI)!
Dr. Li-Hsien Sun is a Professor in the Graduate Institute of Statistics at National Central University. He received his Ph.D. in Statistics and Applied Probability, with emphases in financial mathematics and statistics, from the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research spans mathematical statistics, time series and symbolic data analysis, control theory, stochastic analysis, and financial mathematics and economics. In particular, he has developed statistical meth

New Materials, New Chance
The development of new charge-transport materials and interface modifiers to enhance the efficiency and long-term stability of perovskite solar cells is a crucial step toward their commercialization. Professor Chun-Guey Wu’s research team has developed low-cost and readily available spinel-based hole transporting materials, combined with a self-developed organic oligomer as an interface modifier, to assemble high-efficiency perovskite mini-modules. This team is the first in t


New Theory of Quantum Mechanics in Curved Spacetime –from Heisenberg Picture Supplemented with a Noncommutative Geometric Perspective
With the support of the National Science and Technology Council, Prof. Otto C.-W. Kong has been pursuing quantum physics under the new thinking of q-number values for physical quantities and noncommutative spacetime geometry, now giving a new theory of quantum mechanics in curved spacetime, as a new starting point towards the theory of quantum gravity challenging the framework based on Schrodinger wavefunction representation since 1952. The notion of vector quantity is presen
