A Message from the Dean
Su-Ling Yeh
Serving as the Dean of the NTU College of Science is a profound responsibility. From my student days reflecting by the Drunken Moon Lake to my journey as a professor, department chair, and vice dean, this place has been a witness to my growth. I have come to deeply appreciate that the most captivating part of science is the spirit of “free exploration.” It’s a true joy to be part of this college, exploring the cosmos, the essence of matter, the planet’s rhythms, and the human mind. I hope to carry this passion forward with all of you.
The core of the College of Science is not its structure or size, but every person who learns, explores, and grows here. I firmly believe that “excellence comes from passion, and breakthroughs from collaboration.” As Dean, I will work to create an open and supportive environment where everyone can thrive. Whether it’s through fundamental research or diving into cutting-edge fields like AI, quantum computing, or climate change, everyone should feel empowered to explore freely. We will also encourage interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration, allowing diverse perspectives to spark new possibilities.
In our teaching, we will continue to innovate, helping students develop interdisciplinary thinking and independent inquiry skills. My hope is that students will not just absorb knowledge, but find their passion through doing. As Einstein said, “Scientific progress is a process of constantly correcting mistakes.” I encourage our faculty and students to be rigorous and passionate, to embrace curiosity, to explore the unknown, and to have the courage to question and to try. By refining daily observations into systematic knowledge, we will drive scientific progress forward.
“Academia is not just about individual achievement; it’s the future we build together.” I want to continue our college’s culture of warmth and mutual trust. I will listen to your voices and streamline administrative processes, so our faculty can focus on research and teaching, and our students can fully immerse themselves in learning and exploration.
Looking ahead, we will actively expand our international collaborations, attract outstanding global talent, secure more resources, and enhance our international influence. At the same time, we will remain closely connected to our home base, Taiwan.
I don’t have all the answers for the challenges of our time, but I believe that through open communication and genuine collaboration, we can find the best path forward. “Our mindset determines our potential, and our unity carries us farther.” I look forward to working with you all, grounded in sincerity, reason, and care, to face challenges and share our successes.
The future of the College of Science is defined by all of us.
