Intelligent Materials to Enable Innovative Manufacturing
National Chiao Tung University’s Department of Materials Science
Description: National Chiao Tung University’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering (NCTU MSE) is dedicated to the development of innovative materials across many fields including semiconductors, biomedicals, metals, polymers and ceramics. Professors work in state of the art labs to deliver materials that will define the next generation of technology.
Projects include development of small molecules and polymers for application in organic photovoltaics, realisation of algorithms for use in the design of shape memory alloys, as well as design of materials for use in high-frequency electronic devices.
At the same time, NCTU MSE is focused on bringing their work to application through close collaboration with industry. NCTU is located in the heart of Taiwan’s Silicon Valley: Hsin-chu Science Park. Researchers work closely with world-leading semiconductor companies, such as TSMC and MediaTek to develop intelligent materials for fabrication of devices for the big data era.
This cutting edge research, as well as close collaboration with industry, mean the department is poised to play a pivotal role in the development of materials for the devices of the future.
