The Academia Sinica Frontiers of Sciences and Humanities Seminar Series

In 2018, Academia Sinica will celebrate the 90th anniversary. Academia Sinica prepares a one-month series of activities to summarize the research achievements of the past and also look into the academic trends of the future 10 years. In the first preparatory meeting of the Organizing Committee of the 90th Anniversary of Academia Sinica, the Central Academic Advisory Committee proposed to hold the “Outstanding Young Scholar Forums” (formal name “Academia Sinica Frontiers of Sciences and Humanities Seminar Series”) as one of the main programs in the anniversary celebration. This series of activities invite outstanding young scholars as distinguished speakers to introduce the most emergent and challenging research topics in the three divisions of Academia Sinica, i.e., Division of Mathematics and Physical Sciences, Division of Life Sciences, and Division of Humanities and Social Sciences. This forum aims to reveal the research development prospective of the next 10 years. The Academia Sinica Frontiers of Sciences and Humanities Seminar Series are held by the three divisions of Academia Sinica separately. The forum of the Division of Mathematics and Physical Sciences, organized by Dr. Chau-Hwang Lee (Deputy Executive Secretary, Central Academic Advisory Committee, Academia Sinica), consists of four sessions: (1) material sciences; (2) astronomy and earth sciences; (3) information and artificial intelligence; (4) mathematics and statistics. Institute of Statistical Science Academia Sinica is responsible for the organization of the “Statistics” session and invites Dr. Samuel Kou (Department of Statistics, Harvard University) and Dr. Yen-Tsung Huang (Institute of Statistical Science, Academia Sinica) to give keynote presentation on 5th Nov and 6th Nov, respectively.
