Department

Institutes of Network Engineering

proflist

As the first Network Engineering research institute in a public university, the Institute focuses on network and communication researches. It outperforms its peers in Taiwan in the fields of mobile communication, wireless networks, fiber-optic networks, and network security. The Institute emphasizes the impact of research results and its faculty members have obtained many significant achievements. For example, the faculty members of the institute have published nine research papers with more than one hundred citations ¡V an achievement surpassing any other schools of computer science in the country. Four faculty members serve as editors of IEEE Transaction journals. Many faculty members have served as program committee members for prestigious international conferences and received best paper awards. Two professors have been granted Outstanding Research Awards by the National Science Council. Moreover, the Institute faculty includes a dual fellowship holder of both IEEE and ACM.
