Jung-Hsien Chiang, Professor at NCKU Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, receives the Global Top 10 Outstanding Assessment in the UNESCO IRCAI solutions with “MedCheX: An e-Alert system for automatically detecting pneumonia from chest X-rays.” MedCheX is also the sole Asian project to be listed as top 10. MedCheX, kept accessible online and free-of-charge, benefits patients in areas with limited medical resources and is a model of sustainable development and social influences.

Associate Professor Jan-Chi Yang of the Department of Physics at NCKU and Distinguished Professors Yi-Chun Chen and Tse-Ming Chen at the Center for Quantum Frontiers of Research and Technology (QFort) at NCKU proposed and demonstrated an approach to manipulate twisted epitaxial lateral homostructures, which can facilitate the design and control of the electronic structures and crystal geometry of quantum materials. This has created a new direction for epitaxial film manufacturing, and their achievements have been published in the international journal, Nature Communications.

There needs to be a mindset shift around accessibility in the higher education space. Meeting the diverse needs of all learners is an ongoing process

Edtech solutions can improve accessibility across the entire student lifecycle – everything from enrolment to teaching solutions, graduation, event management and alumni programmes.
