Earthquake Engineering and Disaster Prevention Laboratory
Research Field
I am a Distinguished Professor of National Chi Nan University and the host of the Disaster Prevention Laboratory. My research topic revolves around the field of disaster prevention applications, and structural control technology, experimental technology, and image measurement are the core items of the research content. I am currently implementing a bilateral international cooperation program with the French ISAE-Supmeca, and we welcome top students from home and abroad to join us.
The Disaster Prevention Laboratory is one of the key laboratories of the School of Science and Technology, National Chi Nan University. Its main regular members include professors from the Departments of Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Information Engineering. The purpose of this laboratory is the research and development of advanced disaster prevention technology, and can be divided into two sub-fields: disaster reduction technology and disaster prevention monitoring.
In addition to inter-departmental cooperation within the school, the laboratory also has close cooperative relations with National Cheng Kung University, National University of Kaohsiung, and National Chin-Yi University of Technology. Both ISAE-Supmeca – Institut superieur de mecanique de Paris in France and Department of Civil and Water Resource Engineering, Nagano University in Japan have experience in cooperation and personnel exchanges in recent 4 years. Currently, we are cooperating with ISAE-Supmeca to implement a four-year (2023~2026) Taiwan-France bilateral cooperation project, which is this project.
The field of research interestinf od the PI include: Active, Passive and Semi-Active Dampers, Structural Isolation, Adaptive Structures, Dynamic Testing, Digital Image Correlation method (DIC), Numerical Analysis, Finite Element Method (FEM), Vector Form Intrinsic Finite Element method (VFIFE), Parallel Computation with GPGPU, Computer Aided Measurement and Control.

Job Description
Description of the internship assignment in NCNU 2024-2024 (Start: August or September 2024)
In this internship, you will be responsible for and assist in the following tasks:
(1) Assist in the "software development of real-time dynamic load identification of bridges" in the program writing and experimental verification work under the guidance of the supervisor professor.
(2) Responsible for the acceleration and experimental verification of real-time image measurement software. This software has been initially developed in 2022, and the follow-up work is to improve computing efficiency and accuracy verification. This software will be combined with the first work to become a real-time dynamic load recognition technology for bridges using image measurement technology.
(3) Experience the bridge deformation control technology and measurement technology of National Chi Nan University, and assist in establishing the same research technology in SUPMECA after returning to France.
