活動簡介
| Rayko Stantchev went overseas seeking to establish research collaborations, and these trips proved fruitful as he was able to bring scholars from Japan, South Korea, USA, and the Philippines to Taiwan. He organized a small THz workshop in NSYSU https://taiwanthz.org/past_events/2025_01_13_taiwan_winter_thz_tps/ where there was a total 6 overseas scholars. For many of them, it was their first time to Taiwan and they greatly enjoyed their visit. The next installment of a THz focused workshop was co-organized with Shang-Hua Yang (NTHU) and Chih-Wei Luo (NYCU) on the NYCU campus https://taiwanthz.org/venue/. The topics of the conference were about the latest technology for Terahertz waves, to more efficient and cheaper detectors, to THz cameras, using the latest machine learning models for designing improved components for 6G communication, to fundamental sciences of studying conductivity dynamics novel crystals, semiconductors, 2D materials, and even controlling quantum states with THz waves. There was even a talk about the latest progress at Taiwan’s synchrotron in creating an ultra-powerful THz sources for very fundamental research in semiconductors. The other achievements of the Yushan Young Fellow include training 3 PhD students (still yet to graduate) and 3 MSc students (still yet to graduate) and making sure they have skills that make them very competitive in today’s technology job market. All of them have been trained to do independent research with hands-on experience in aligning optical systems, analyzing recorded data with Python/Matlab, presenting their research finding with polished presentations, and then solving problems that arise in physics research. In terms of tangible research output, the construction of a novel skin-imaging system is proceeding with most of the components functioning as expected. The skin imaging system is non-invasive, which makes designing the optical components quite critical to achieving a working system. Further, as it aims to actually combine imaging with terahertz waves and optical coherence tomography simultaneously, commercial optical components are never designed for such large wavelength ranges hence such an imaging system will encounter many previously unseen challenges and this is where the project nearly at. Finally, the electrical synchronization of this multi-modal imaging system is something that will take some time to actually iron-out and make it efficient enough for measuring skin on many patients. |
