Prof. J. J. Miau elected as an IAA Corresponding Member
(中央社訊息服務20091105 17:38:39)Prof. Jiun-Jih Miau from Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Taiwan, as well as the Director General of National Space Organization (NSPO) and the President of Chinese Industrial Cooperation Association (CICA) in Taipei, has been elected as a Corresponding Member of the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) in 2009 to recognize his outstanding contributions to aeronautics and the exploration of space.
Prof. Miau is the first faculty member of NCKU to be introduced to International Academy of Astronautics (IAA). It is absolutely a great honor of NCKU, too. Besides, till now there are only 3 more experts from Taiwan received this honor. They are Prof. Wing-Huen Ip from Graduate Institute of Astronomy at National Central University (NCU) in 2000, Dr. Lou-Chuang Lee as the Minister of National Science Council (NSC) in 2007, and Prof. Yuei-An Liou as the Director of the Center for Space and Remote Sensing Research in 2009.
About Prof. J.J. Miau
Prof. Miau is currently of National Space Organization (NSPO), the President of CICA, and the Distinguished Professor of the NCKU Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He received his BS from Department of Mechanical Engineering at National Taiwan University (NTU), MS and PhD from Division of Engineering, Brown University.
Prof. Miau has been worked as the President of Aeronautical and Astronautical Society of Republic of China (AASRC). In NCKU, he has assumed the duties as the Deputy Director of Research and Service Headquarters (RSH), the Director of Technology Licensing & Business Incubation Center (TLBIC), the Chairman of Activities of Aerospace Science and Technology Research Center (ASTRC), and the Chairman and Associate Professor from Dept of Aeronautics and Astronautics (IAA).
Prof. Miau specialized in aeronautical and astronautical engineering, turbulence, experimental fluid mechanics, aerospace education, and energy technology. In addition, he has been issued with seven international/domestic patents, and published more than sixty academic papers.
Besides his effort in promoting education and researches of aero- and astronautics, Prof. Miau has also been involved in many research projects including “development of a vortex flowmeter with intelligent capabilities”, as well as “an experimental study on aerodynamics of a missile body at high-angle-of-attack with lateral jet control” from NSC, “pico-satellite subsystem development and technical services” supported by National Space Program Office, “ABRI wind tunnel establishment and system integration” supported by Architecture and Building Research Institute, “application of MEMS sensors” and “PSP/TSP techniques in wind tunnel experiment” supported by National Defense Foundation, and establishment of Program Office for the MOE Aerospace Engineering Education Reform Program.
Prof. Miau received many awards including “Excellent-Teaching Award”, NCKU (1992), “Engineering Paper Award”, the Society of Chinese Engineers (2002), “Outstanding research Award”, NSI Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences (2004), and “Outstanding research Award”, NCKU (2004). In addition, he has also been honored as a Board Member and Member of the Advisory Board of AASRC, AIAA Associate Fellow, a Board Member of the Society of Theoretical and Applied Sciences (STAM), a Board Member of Institute of Engineering Education Taiwan, Fellow of AASRC, a Member of the Board of Supervisors of Chinese Society of Civil Aviation (CSCA), and a Corresponding Member of IAA (2009).
About The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA)
The information is contained in http://iaaweb.org/content/view/246/378/
The International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) was founded in Stockholm on August 16, 1960. Since that time, IAA has brought together the world's foremost experts in the disciplines of astronautics on a regular basis to recognize the accomplishments of their peers, to explore and discuss cutting-edge issues in space research and technology, and to provide direction and guidance in the non-military uses of space and the ongoing exploration of the solar system.
The purposes of IAA, as stated in the Academy's statutes are including foster the development of astronautics for peaceful purposes, recognize individuals who have distinguished themselves in a branch of science or technology related to astronautics, and provide a program through which the membership can contribute to international endeavors and cooperation in the advancement of aerospace science, in cooperation with national science or engineering academies.
IAA is based on the tradition of the great classical scientific academies of the 17th century in Rome, London, and Paris, which fostered scientific enquiry and the exchange of ideas and new information in the earliest days of modern science. In the words of IAA's second president, Dr. Frank J. Malina, "the classical academies served in a remarkable manner the phenomenal advance of man's new method of understanding nature and of applying this understanding for the benefit of mankind".
IAA coordinates closely with national academies to foster a spirit of cooperation and progress that transcends national boundaries, cultures, and institutions. For example, in recent years, joint meetings were held with the French Academy of Sciences, the Royal Society, the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Royal Society of Canada, the US National Academy of Sciences, the US National Academy of Engineering, the US Institute of Medicine, the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the Israel Academy of Sciences, the Norwegian Academy of Science and Humanities, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Academy of Sciences of Turin, the Australian Academy of Sciences, the Australian Academy of Technological Science and Engineering, The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the Brazilian Academy of Sciences.
About National Cheng Kung University (NCKU):
NCKU is located in the ancient city of Tainan, the historical and ancient cultural capital city of Taiwan, which boasts more than 50 national relics sanctioned by the government and is approximately 250 kilometers south of Taipei. It is connected to all major cities in Taiwan by the recently initiated state-of-the-art Taiwan High Speed Rail. Further, this historical heritage is the pride of Tainan City and represents a rich cultural resource to NCKU. The technological sectors in the Southern Taiwan Science Park offer students at NCKU with a stage to apply what they have learned into practice.
With three quarters of a century of distinguished history, with well over 130,000 powerful alumni now dotting the globe, many have achieved supreme successes in arts, business, education, science, technology and healthcare and are ready and willing to assist the 22,000 academic selective students and 1200 academic faculty members. Currently, both have an international flavor, with enormous regional support, and there is a permeating culture of proactive intellectual growth on the world’s stage NCKU in Tainan, Taiwan, has evolved from its engineering genesis into a powerful and comprehensive research international university in the Asia Pacific.
Since NCKU’s establishment in 1931, it has developed into a research intensive and comprehensive university with integrated academic fields in nine colleges: Liberal Arts, Sciences, Engineering, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, Planning & Design, Management, Social Sciences, Medicine, and Bioscience & Biotechnology. NCKU currently offers 40 undergraduate programs (excluding the Program of Bachelor’s Degree), 78 master’s degree programs, 54 doctoral programs and 20 master’s degree programs for working professionals.
