To advance the University’s key instrument analysis techniques, research efforts, and international influence, the Office of Research and Development (ORD) has established the NTU Consortia of Key Technologies in the five domains of mass spectrometry, molecular imaging, electron microscopy, semiconductor processing and integrative biomedical science. The consortia are supported by an expert system consisting of professors, professional technical staff, as well as cutting-edge core facilities, and by the University's existing expensive instruments, to provide both basic analysis service and solutions to advanced problems. Besides basic analyses, the consortia also feature consulting and follow-up research services for highly challenging and cutting-edge research topics. The experts will first determine the difficulty level of questions and designate appropriate facilities in the consortia to help conduct research analysis based on the identified needs so that both the use of instruments and analytical precision can be maximized. With the consortia supported by experts, NTU is expected to elevate its research quality in relevant domains.
