ChenRecognizing individuals who have demonstrated significant academicachievement through research in the field of design and process science.WT Chen is the president of the National Tsing Hua University inTaiwan. He has been with the National Tsing Hua University since1976 and is currently a Chair Professor of the Department of ComputerScience. He has served as Department Chairman, Dean ofCollege of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, and Directorof Science & Technology Advisory Office, Ministry of Education.He has consulted in various levels of Taiwan Government andserved as a member of many planning and technical review boards.For 15 years, Professor Chen has served as Co-Chairman andChairman of the Technical Evaluation Board of the Ministry of EconomicAffairs for Promoting High-Tech Products and Technologies,which is recognized as most pivotal in promoting industrial technologiesin Taiwan.Professor Chen pioneered the design of computer networks andparallel systems in early 1980s. He is currently leading a projectfor design and applications of advanced information networks. Hehas received numerous awards for his achievements incomputer networking and parallel processing, including OutstandingResearch Awards of the National Science Council,National Chair of the Ministry of Education, and Technical AchievementAward of the IEEE Computer Society. ProfessorChen was the General Chair of the 2000 IEEE International Conferenceon Distributed Computing Systems and the Founding GeneralChair of the IEEE International Conference on Parallel andDistributed Systems. He is an IEEE Fellow.Born near Shanghai in l931, Master Sheng-yen became a monk ofGuang Jiao Monastery in the Wolf Hills of Nantung at age thirteen.Later on he studied at the Buddhist Academy at Ching-an Monasteryin Shanghai. Years later, Master Sheng-yen went to Japan forhis postgraduate education and received his master’s degree anddoctorate in Buddhist literature from Rissho University there.Master Sheng Yen has made tremendous social impacts throughoutthe world as a consequence of his life long devotion “to raisethe quality of human beings and to establish pure land on earth” inorder to establish a spiritually rich world.
