恭喜本班同學黃鍔博士(台大土木系1960年6月畢業,即民國49年大學部畢業民國45年入學,45級校友)
榮獲今年2016年度美國約翰霍金斯大學傑出校友獎,讓台大校友分享,而同感光榮,原文如下:
Johns Hopkins University
Distinguished Alumnus Award 2016
Norden Huang, Engr '67

Dr. Norden Huang is the K.T. Lee Chair Professor and the Director of the Research Center for Adaptive Data Analysis at the National Central University (NCU) in Taiwan. He holds a doctoral degree (1967) in Fluid Mechanics and Mathematics from Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Huang is a renowned scientist and prior to NCU, worked for NASA for over 30 years. His past work focused on nonlinear random ocean waves. Recently, he has devoted his time to the invention of a new data analysis method known as the Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT). Over the last few years, he has applied this method to analyze data in the following areas: nonlinear ocean wave evolution data; earthquake signals and structure responses; bridge and structural health monitoring; biomedical signals such as blood pressure fluctuations; long term environmental data such as global temperature variations, Antarctic ice extents records, and solar irradiance variance; hydro- machinery design and machine vibration data. Dr. Huang has received numerous prestigious accolades and awards. He was awarded the 1998, 2003, and 2004 NASA Special Space Act Award for his work on designing and implementing the Hilbert-Huang Transform. He was also the winner of the 1999 Federal Government Technical Leadership Award; the 2001 Federal Laboratory Development Award, 2006 Service to America Medal for Science and Environment, and, for his contribution in the field of nonstationary and nonlinear data analysis, elected as a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2000. Dr. Huang serves as an Associate Editor for Journal of Physical Oceanography, and Journal of Geophysical Research. He has published extensively on subjects covering data analysis method and its applications to natural science, engineering, biomedical, and financial problems.

重陽敬老

今年10月9日正好是農曆9月9日。九九重陽敬老佳節。敬陳<采桑子>格律習作如下:

台灣重陽

日落秋涼,
夢築蓬萊世代香。


台灣重陽之一

天高氣爽淺秋意,
敬老重陽,
抗老長祥,
碧海藍天綠地享。

很溫馨地,台北捷運於10/9至10/15,凡持敬老卡搭乘的長者都給予不計費優惠,
不難看到增加了許多銀髮族的乘客。
