Achievements

Developed the Advanced Ionospheric Probe (AIP) onboard FORMOSAT-5; data has been archived by NASA and released globally for scientific research.

Built an integrated system for ionospheric space weather monitoring, nowcasting, and forecasting.

Developed an ionospheric tsunami early warning system.

Built an air pollution nowcasting and forecasting system.

Developed an AI-assisted Ionospheric Tsunami Early Warning System for regional and global applications (Future Tech Award recipient).

World First: Discovered lunar-driven "ionospheric tides" in Earth's upper atmosphere (Liu et al., 2022).

Uncovered the physical mechanisms driving seismo-ionospheric precursors using FORMOSAT-5 AIP data (Liu et al., 2023).

Combined GNSS, FORMOSAT-5, and FORMOSAT-7 data to reveal giant ionospheric plasma holes triggered by the Mother's Day geomagnetic storm (Wu et al., GRL 2025).

Participated in a joint international study (Taiwan, Japan, China) to achieve 3D reconstruction of ionospheric perturbations from the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake (Song et al., Scientific Reports 2025).

Deployed the self-developed Compact Ionospheric Probe (CIP) onboard the IDEASSat (Flying Squirrel) CubeSat for space weather observations.

Developed and launched Taiwan’s LEO broadband communication CubeSats, PEARL-1C and PEARL-1H, conducting ground-to-satellite communication tests.

Developed the Deep Space Radiation Probe (DSRP) payload onboard Japan’s Hakuto-R, marking Taiwan’s first participation in an international lunar orbit/landing mission.

Developed and launched Taiwan’s LEO broadband communication CubeSats, PEARL-1A and PEARL-1B, to perform inter-satellite communication experiments.

Integrated the self-developed HyperSCAN Hyperspectral Imager onboard Whale Shark (a 12U CubeSat, Taiwan's largest) for remote sensing of air pollution.

Integrated the miniature Fiber Optic Gyroscope (FOG) into the attitude payload of the Leopard Cat CubeSat to monitor atmospheric density and wind speeds.

Constructed a UHF transceiver station, S-band transceiver station, and Satellite Mission Operations Center atop Chien-Shiung Building for routine CubeSat operations.

Constructed a backup UHF station, Ka-band ground station, and PEARL Mission Control Center atop the Center for Space and Remote Sensing Research (CSRSR) to manage PEARL satellite operations.

Established a UHF/S-Band Telemetry, Tracking, and Control (TT&C) Station at Ta Hwa High School.
