Shiny Chem. Honorary Lectureships

Shiny Chemical Industrial Co., Ltd. (勝一化工股份有限公司) (hereafter referred to as Shiny Chem.) set up “Shiny Chem. Honorary Lectureships” for College of Engineering in 2020 with the spirit of giving back to the society and contributing to the university, encouraging the annual academic interaction between the college and Japanese scholars. Through the lectureships, Shiny Chem. Hopes to increase the academic research level and to promote international cooperation between Taiwan and Japan. The invited lecturers are decided by NTU College of Engineering and Shiny Chem. together. Both sessions of the lecture were completed successfully on Jun. 24th, 2021 and Jan. 13th, 2022 respectively. Due to the serious COVID-19, both lectures were held online.

The first session of the lecture on Jun. 24th, 2021 was hosted by Dean Wen-Chang CHEN (陳文章) of College of Engineering. Chairman Jan-Yen SUN (孫靜源) of Shiny Chem. gave the opening speech, while Prof. Kuo-Lun (Allan) TUNG (童國倫) and Prof. Da-Ming WANG (王大銘) of Chemical Engineering being the introducers of the four honorary lecturers: Professor Naoto OHMURA (大村直人), Professor Hideto MATSUYAMA (松山秀人), Dr. Yusuke TSUTSUMI (堤祐介), and Professor Hiroyuki NISHIDE (西出宏之). After the great speeches from the invited lecturers, the Japanese scholars conducted academic interaction and research discussion with the attendees from Shiny Chem. and College of Engineering.

The second session of the lecture on Jan. 13th, 2022 was hosted by Dean Wen-Chang CHEN (陳文章) of College of Engineering with the opening speech from Vice President Andrew Sun (孫啓發) and Board Member Chen-Chi M. Ma (馬振基) of Shiny Chem. Seven Japanese scholars were invited to give speeches and share their academic results of their research fields, including Professor Yoshiki CHUJO (中條善樹) from Kyoto University (京都大學), Dr. Kei KUBOTA (久保田圭) from National Institute for Materials Science, NIMS (國立研究開發法人物質．材料研究機構), Professor Kohzo ITO (伊藤耕三) from The University of Tokyo (東京大學), Professor Mitsuru UEDA (上田充) from Tokyo Institute of Technology(東京工業大學), Dr. Yoshitaka TAKEZAWA (竹澤由高) from the Showa Denko Group (昭和電工材料), Professor Noriyoshi MATSUMI (松見紀佳) from Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, JAIST (北陸先端科學技術大學院大學), and Professor Tomoya HIGASHIHARA (東原知哉) from Yamagata University (山形大學).

Through the lectureships, Shiny Chem. hopes to increase the academic research level and to promote international cooperation between Taiwan and Japan. When the epidemic is under control, the College of Engineering will invite the Japanese scholars again to Taiwan for face-to-face interaction and further discussion on future cooperation of academic and industrial research opportunities.
