SDGs in ECE NYCU

National Yang Min Chiao Tung University ("NYCU") is a top research university in Taiwan as well as in East Asia. Located close to Hsinchu Science Park (HSP)--the "Silicon Valley" of Taiwan. The College of Electrical and Computer Engineering of NCTU, established in 1994, was the first college in Taiwan focusing on the fields of electrical engineering and computer science. It is ranked as the top among all the engineering colleges in Taiwan. The college also collaborates closely with the industry and initiates numerous joint research projects. Our alumni from the College of ECE have played a significant role within the global industries of information, integrated circuits, networks, and communications, from the Science Park in Hsinchu, Taiwan to Silicon Valley in California, USA.

Flexible waveguiding photovoltaics can supply energy for IoT systems.

For internet-of-things (IoT) systems, the energy supply is a very critical issue as a large number of sensors, and wireless devices consume a huge amount of energy. Prof. Chen’s team from department of photonics, National Chiao Tung University have devoted themselves to the field of solar energy and tried to solve this problem by harvesting the photonic energy from the ambient conditions. In 2012,...

In response to global warming and extreme climate change crisis, wide-spread use of green energy has become an urgent task. Since the products on the market are dominated by single polycrystalline silicon solar cells, the power generation efficiency is around 20-25%. Also, the power generation cost per watt is less than 1 US dollar. However, current outdoor solar power generation requires high-rel...

Prof. F. C. Chen leads the research team from National Chiao Tung University find bandgap engineering can improve the performance of perovskite solar cells for indoor photovoltaic applications

Prof. Fang-Chung Chen and his research team calculate the Shockley-Queisser limits under indoor light sources and reveal an unusual bandgap (Eg) zone, in which the dependence of the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) on the value of Eg under illumination from the indoor lighting sources exhibited different trends from that under solar irradiation; this result runs counter to a common intuition. ...
