Introduction to the event
We have so far published 43 journal papers, presented data in 23 local and international conferences, set up advanced membrane labs, conducted manpower training and promoted Taiwan. Prof. Chung was (1) the top 0.083% of scholars on Water Purification over the past 10 years, as "World Expert" by Expertscape (August 2021) (2) the No. 6th in Chemical Engineering worldwide and No 356th in the list of “the top 2% scientists in the world” by Stanford University in 2022 at http://www.globalauthorid.com/WebPortal/EliteOrder and (3) the No. 79th in the Chemistry field and 110th in Material Science in 2023 worldwide by Research.com at https://research.com/u/tai-shung-chung. His H-index = 126 (Scopus) or 146 (Google Scholar).
Clean water, clean energy, global warming and affordable healthcare are four major concerns globally resulting from clean water shortages, high fluctuations of oil prices, climate changes and high costs of healthcare. Clean water and public health are also highly related, while clean energy is essential for sustainable prosperity. Among many potential solutions, advances in membrane technology are one of the most direct, effective and feasible approaches to solve these sophisticated issues. Membrane technology is a fully integrated science and engineering which consists of materials science and engineering, chemistry and chemical engineering, separation and purification phenomena, environmental science and sustainability, statistical mechanics-based molecular simulation, process and product design. In 2022/2023, in addition to set up the NTUST membrane labs, we have developed novel membranes for H2/O2 separation, Li+/Mg2+ separation, membrane distillation, seawater desalination, boron and herbicide removal and organic solvent nanofiltration using various polymer materials, nanomaterials, and fabrication strategies to enhance membrane performance. Two patent applications have been filed in Taiwan.
