Cornell Research Applied in Taiwan

CORNELL RESEARCH CENTERS AND TAIWAN

Cornell University expertise in a variety of research and technology areas is being applied in Taiwan, made possible by three collaborative agreements:

The Cornell Nanofabrication Facility and the National Nano-Device Laboratory in HsinChu, Taiwan.
The Cornell Theory Center and the National Center for High-Performance Computing in HsinChu (its director, San-Chen Chang, received a Cornell Ph.D. in civil engineering).
The Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source and the Synchrotron Radiation Research Center in HsinChu.

Norman R. Scott, Cornell vice president for research and advanced studies, was in Taiwan in January 1994 to establish the agreements, in which Cornell research experts are helping counterparts there in these areas:

Cornell experts in supercomputing from the Cornell Theory Center; in particle accelerators and radiation from the Cornell High-Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS); and in construction and utilization of nano-scale devices from the National Nanofabrication Facility at Cornell all are helping Taiwan establish similar centers, all in HsinChu, outside of Taipei.
