Research Focus
In conjunction with the goal of the Low Carbon Energy Program, a number of corresponding research subjects are being studied at College of Nuclear Science with sufficient funding supports from the university, the industry, and the government. For nuclear energy, faculty members with expertise in reactor physics, reactor thermal hydraulics, reactor safety, fuel management, and nuclear materials are currently conducting research projects in the corresponding areas and are offering research assistantship to prospective Ph.D. students. For solar energy, outstanding research groups are working on both inorganic solar cells and organic solar cells, in the areas of novel catalyst preparation, cell design, processing, and assembling. Students carrying out theses research in this energy field will be financially supported by related research projects. For hydrogen energy, research is mainly focused on hydrogen production and storage and low-temperature fuel cells. Hydrogen production via low-temperature reformers or high-temperature nuclear iodine-sulfur processes, effective physical and chemical storages of hydrogen, and micro-scale fuel cells for portable electronic devices are being investigated by quite a number of faculty members. All Ph.D. students in the research field of hydrogen energy are also financially supported.
