Dr. Balchandar Navaneethan, an alumnus of the Taiwan International Graduate Program – Nanoscience and Technology (TIGP-Nano) and a Postdoctoral Fellow at Academia Sinica (Lab of Dr. Chia-Fu Chou, Distinguished Research Fellow & Deputy Director of the Institute of Physics, Academia Sinica), won First Prize at the 2025 Falling Walls Lab Taipei. He will represent Taiwan at the 2025 Global Innovation Summit in Berlin, Germany. This achievement not only demonstrates his outstanding scientific innovation capacity but also further showcases Taiwan’s research excellence on the global stage.
Academia Sinica is committed to creating a welcoming environment for international residents. Recognizing the growing Muslim community on campus, Academia Sinica identified the need for a suitable space where a larger number of Muslim students and employees can pray together. President James Liao acknowledged the importance of meeting the needs of the Muslim community and directed the Department of International Affairs and the Department of General Affairs to form a working team. After conducting extensive surveys across various campus units, an independent building near Academia Sinica was identified as the perfect location for a Muslim Prayer Room.
