Description:

The annual ACS Taiwan Chapter Graduate Student Conference was held on the first Saturday of May, May 4th 2019. Every year, students from all chemical institutions in Taiwan gathered at the Graduate Student Conference to share their research progresses with each other in English. The ultimate goal of the conference is to encourage collaboration and to promote chemical research in Taiwan. This year, 89 student participants attended the conference and dedicated 35 oral presentations and 45 posters. To motivate and encourage students, we have also invited 12 professors from 6 research institutions to evaluate student performance on scientific presentation of their research accomplishment.

 

The opening remarks delivered by Prof. Jye-Shane Yang kick-started the conference at 8:50 am. Then, four parallel sections on Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, Analytical Chemistry and Physical Chemistry began at 9:00 am. Each student was requested to present their own research in 20 minutes with a 5-minute Q&A section included. In addition to oral presentation, two poster/coffee break sections allow students to communicate in a more relaxed environment. This year, three educational plenary lectures were delivered. The first plenary lecture entitled “全新人工智慧資料庫: ScifinerN” given by Dr. Chuan-Che Liu from CAS introduced the new generation database search engine, ScifinerN, which is able to propose potential synthetic routes through data mining. The second plenary lecture sponsored by Citex was delivered by Mr. Dean Wang, and the title of the talk is “Emergency Response for Chemical Accident in Laboratory”. This lecture focused on how to minimize chemical damage on the human body in a laboratory accident. The last plenary lecture on “Scientific English Writing” by Dr. Kevin Kau from the Academic Writing Education Center at NTU taught students how to utilize a simple guideline to prepare a report in English. Dr. Kau also talked about some common mistakes that Taiwanese students tend to make in English writing.

 

The award ceremony was scheduled after the plenary lecture of Dr. Kau. The referees selected 8 Outstanding Oral and Poster Presenters, 16 Excellent Oral and Poster Presenters, 20 Selected Presenters, and 3 Most Popular Poster Presenters. Every awardee received an Award Certificate from the ACS Taiwan Chapter. Finally, Prof. Yang and Prof. Chiu gave the closing remarks to conclude the successful conference.
