Taiwan Academic Cybersecurity Center

The principal investigator (PI) of this project, Professor Shih-Hsuan Yang, is the Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer of National Taipei University of Technology (Taipei Tech). He invited 8 professors in Taipei Tech and 4 professors from other universities with expertise in cyber security to join the group. Moreover, Prof. Hsin-Piao Lin, the director of Taipei Tech’s Institute of Aerospace System Engineering, is a co-PI of this team. An application for the school-level Cybersecurity Research Center was submitted. The team expects to submit at least 10 papers to top-tier conferences or journals in cyber security area every year, and the number of papers published or accepted will increase to 4 papers per year. Taipei Tech has taken cyber security as a critical development area and has established a graduate degree program recruiting 45 master students and 5 doctoral students each year. In addition to academic research, the research team is also actively conducting projects in cooperation with domestic research institutions or industries, striving to put relevant results into practice and assisting in the national manufacturing of cyber security. Taipei Tech has established a close cooperation with the Taiwan Space Agency (TASA), including the establishment of the Communication CubeSat Components and System Environment Verification Laboratory. In terms of international liaison, the school has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Georgia Institute of Technology, focusing on satellite communications. The research team has discussed the possible cooperation with the Brno University of Technology in the Czech Republic. The execution of this project will enhance the school's Cybersecurity Research Center to become an important base for both research and talent cultivation in Taiwan and the world.
