- Technology comes from human nature, and research starts from care
The “Gas Sensing Technology Platform” developed by Prof. Zan’s team has been verified for a wide range of applications; So far, hundreds of clinical data have been completed. - Go your own way, there is no gender difference
Prof. Zan won the 4th Taiwan Outstanding Women in Science awards and the Outstanding Professor Award from the Chinese Institute of Electrical Engineering. Currently, she is the chairman of the Women Engineers Committee of the IEEE Taipei Branch. She regularly holds speeches on campus to talk about reversing gender stereotypes, motivating plenty of female students who are currently involved in scientific research.
