Sixteenth International Conference on Environmental, Cultural, Economic & Social Sustainability - Emerging Scholar Award, Speaker

Much of the sustainability literature focuses on the Global North and on issues salient to policy makers in developed countries, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and ozone depletion. By contrast, comparatively little is written on environmental issues in the Global South, which is rich in sustainability experiences and lessons learned in natural resource conservation, and where many of the challenges are being faced on a daily basis with limited financial and human capital resources.

Global Student Innovation Challenge-Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology - Best Presentation Award

The Global Student Innovation Challenge (gSIC) is an annual event held at each International Convention on Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology (i-CREATe). It provides a platform to encourage students from all over the world to compete one in developing creative and innovative devices or solutions to improve the quality of living of the elderly and people with disability. It showcases the talents and abilities of these students while providing an opportunity to work with clients and clinicians to develop these innovative ideas. It also facilitates cooperation and networking among the students and gives them an opportunity to listen to speakers from across the world and region.

Eleventh International Conference on Climate Change - Innovation Showcase Speaker

Founded in 2009, the International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts & Responses aims to create an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of climate change, its causes, its eco-systemic impacts, and its human impacts. The conference also explores technological, policy, strategic, and social responses to climate change.

The International Conference on Climate Change: Impacts & Responses is built upon four key features: Internationalism, Interdisciplinarity, Inclusiveness, and Interaction.

Sense of AI Issue Hackathon - Team Leader

At present, the population of people over 50 years old is nearly 10 million. In the next decade, the aging situation will only be more dramatic. Under the proportion of extremely aging population, the Taiwanese labor force will not be able to take care of the elderly in Taiwan.

Nowadays, the emergence of artificial intelligence can help humans make more accurate judgments based on past data, such as the preliminary classification of medical images, the location of lesions, etc. In short, as long as it is something that human vision can judge, AI can help us.
