Student Wins International Explore Competition

A senior from National Cheng Kung University won the top prize at a global student research contest sponsored by the U.S. Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the university said in a press report yesterday.

Huang Tsung-wei won the contest in Anaheim, California in mid June with research in digital micro fluidic bio-chips, said the university.

Huang's prize-winning effort involves drip routing algorithms for digital micro fluidic biochips and was praised by Iris Bahar, the competition organizer and a professor at Brown University, as a marvelous study concert, the statement said.

According to Cheng Kung University, Huang's research explores a way used to process biochips on a nanoscale as small as one-billionth of a meter. The process allows manufacturers to correctly complete all essential biochemical reactions, attain optimal revealing and raise the efficiency of micro fluidic chip detection.

Huang has published three papers in international conferences, together with the 2009 IEEE International discussion on Computer Design, the 2009 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Computer Aided Design, and the 2010 ACM International Symposium on Physical Design.
