Announcement of the 2024 World's Top 2% Scientists List on September 16, 2024
In the 2024 edition of the World’s Top 2% Scientists lifetime scientific impact rankings (1960–2023), Yuan Ze University has 17 professors featured on the list. Additionally, 13 professors from the university are listed in the 2024 Scientific Impact Rankings. These professors come from the College of Engineering, the College of Electrical Engineering and Communications, and the College of Informatics. Their research fields cover Engineering, Information & Communication Technologies, Physics & Astronomy, and Enabling & Strategic Technologies.
The World’s Top 2% Scientists 2024 list is divided into two categories: the Lifetime Scientific Impact Rankings (1960–2023) and the 2023 Annual Scientific Impact Rankings, which respectively measure long-term and recent research impact. The data was sourced from the Scopus database as of August 2024, with citation counts up to the end of 2023. The statistical timeframe spans from 1960 to 2023, covering a total of 22 major disciplines and 174 sub-disciplines.
Among the top 2% scientists in the Lifetime Scientific Impact Rankings (1960–2023), professors from Yuan Ze University include: Prof. 謝建德 (Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering), Prof. 徐業良 and Prof. 詹世弘 (Department of Mechanical Engineering), Prof. 王任瓚 (Department of Computer Science), Prof. 林志民 (Department of Electrical Engineering), and Dr. Abdulaziz ATABANI from the Green Technology Research Center.
In the 2023 Annual Scientific Impact Rankings, the listed professors include: Prof. 樂代義 from the College of Engineering’s English-taught program, Prof. 謝建德 and Prof. 邱冠雄 from the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering, Prof. Muhammad Shoaib from the AI Center, Prof. 林志民 from the Department of Electrical Engineering, and Dr. Abdulaziz ATABANI from the Green Technology Research Center.
Post-pandemic, various industries face manpower shortages, resulting in decreased numbers of research and doctoral students, especially impacting private universities' student recruitment. With faculty balancing teaching, service, and research duties, achieving such academic accomplishments is quite challenging. Yuan Ze University, through the joint efforts of its faculty and students, hopes to provide an even better research environment to further elevate academic performance.
