WU, CHIH-DA (JOHN)’s Autobiography

 

Dear Faculty Council:

 

It is with the highest enthusiasm that I address to you this application regarding the faculty position offered by your department. My name is 吳治達 (WU, CHIH-DA (JOHN)), an assistant professor in the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, National Chiayi University. Now I am also served as a visiting scientist in the Exposure, Epidemiology, and Risk Program in the Department of Environmental Health at the Harvard School of Public Health. After spending almost a decade in the research field of “Geomatics and Environmental Changes”, I have the clear goal in mind to pursue an academic career, not only to continue the investigation path that I have followed but also to share this knowledge with my country fellowman. Given the academic record of your department, I am confident that being part of your team will be the best step in my academic career. My personal experience of academic research and teaching is briefly listed below:

 

(I) Academic Research Experience

My experience in academic research traces back to my student days at the National Taiwan University. After graduating from college, I decided to join the graduate school examination and passed the examination with success and enrolled into the graduate school of Forestry and Resource Conservation, National Taiwan University and studied in the “Research Lab of Forest Photogrammetry” hosted by professor, CHEN, YEONG-KUAN (陳永寬). Through Professor Chen, I became proficient in Geographic Information System (GIS), photogrammetry and remote sensing and landscape ecology. Later on, with the professional and patient instruction of professor, CHENG, CHI-CHUAN (鄭祈全), I finished my studies in graduate school with highest honors.

 

During the period of pursuing my master degree, I excelled on the compulsory classes such as forestry, ecology, bio-statistics, climatology, GIS, photogrammetry, remote sensing, and landscape ecology. Simultaneously, I also took many courses prepared by Departments of Geography and Bioenvironmental System Engineering, which enhanced my abilities in planning and spatial simulation and gave me a chance to get the know-how of conducting a cross-field scientific research. Therefore, when I was preparing my thesis, “Monitoring of Landscape Change on Unlawful Cultivated Forestland”, with the integration of photogrammetry, Markov model, Logit model and the space calculation function of GIS, I estimated the potential unlawful cultivation of the forestland in Lien-Hwa-Chi district in the future. The thesis was awarded with the prestigious distinction of the Chinese Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing in 1993 was reviewed with excellent remarks.

 

After I got my master degree, I joined the entrance examination of the Ph. D. program, School of Forestry and Resource Conservation, National Taiwan University. I was enrolled with the 3rd highest score and had a chance to be instructed and taught by two great professors, LO, HANN-CHUNG (羅漢強) and CHENG, CHI-CHUAN (鄭祈全). As I had to define a research path, I devoted considerable time resources in documenting myself about environmental issues that have a global impact. I wanted my research to have not only a great scientific value but also to be able to have practical application in our society. Though the study of issues such as hydrologic analysis, environmental management and model simulation required a vast amount of work, it turned out to be quite helpful in the preparation of my doctorial dissertation. My dissertation aimed at exploring “the influence of environmental change to the hydrologic cycle. In my research, I integrated the technology of photogrammetry and remote sensing, SEBAL, GCMs, semi-distribution hydrologic model and Markov model. Traditionally, when the simulation of climate change was conducted, the potential future status of land use, and the possible change of the evapotranspiration volume were not taken into consideration. In my research this part was improved through the use of foregoing models and considering the potential influence upon the future hydrologic circle of northern Taiwan, incorporating comprehensive detail of environmental change factors such as climate, land use, evapotranspiration volume.. The results of my research have extensive implication on environmental policies or water resources management. Besides, in order to enhance my English proficiency, I wrote my doctorial dissertation completely in this language. The dissertation also won the recognition of Chinese Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing in 2010 as an exemplary work.

 

In order to cultivate my ability in independent analysis, thinking and problem solving, I also actively participated in several projects launched by National Science Council. Among the most interesting projects I worked on are: 1: The moderating effect of landscape change evaluated by the application of remote sensing and GIS (2003); 2: The features and spectrum indicators of the structure of cypress forest with photogrammetry and remote sensing applied (2006); 3: The city’s land usage in Taiwan and the effect of the land coverage on the drought and its reciprocal influence and interaction with global environmental transition(2006~2008); 4: The environmental resources conservation of sandy coast and the restoration of deteriorated land—taking the coastline of Yilan as an example—sub-project 5: The resources conservation of Yilan coastline and the analysis of propriety of land usage (2009~2010), 6: The establishment and assessment of water resource index for attaining sustainable agriculture (2013~2015; Co-PI); 7: Long-term land-Use change in Taiwan mountain regions after world war II (2013; Co-PI), etc. Thanks to these projects, I have been able to experience a refinement in my academic research skills, and a refinement in the use of specialized methodologies.

 

In order to satisfy my interest in conducting research, right after I got my Ph. D. degree, I joined the Research Center for Environment Changes, Academia Siniaca, and continued postdoctoral research in the “Environmental Health Assessment Laboratory” hosted by professor, LUNG SHIH CHUN (龍世俊). My research included two aspects: (1) Applied GIS and fine-resolution digital terrain models (5m×5m) from Ministry of Interior to assess three-dimensional population distribution exposed to air pollution from traffic; (2) Evaluated effects of heat wave on the magnitude of Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI), and further to compare the SUHI intensity between metropolis and middle level city. Two papers related the above issues have been submitted to the journals and one of them has been accepted and published. In order to improve my research skills with a holistic and global scale point of view, I applied to the “2010 Postdoctoral Research Abroad Program sponsored, National Science Council (NSC)” and fortunately was selected as a recipient of a grant sponsored by NSC for one year to pursue my postdoctoral research at the Department of Environmental Health, Harvard School of Public Health. My major research tasks were (1) to develop three-dimensional model for distribution of population impacted by air pollution from highways, this model will be used to assess differential health effects by altitude in areas in close proximity to highly used infrastructure for transportation; (2) to assess the effects of neighborhood green spaces on academic performances; (3) to analyze the spatial distribution of air pollutant level using a land-use regression modeling approach. In Harvard, I am instructed by Professor, John Spengler to study the air pollution exposure assessment and environmental change monitoring. Moreover, I also joined the “Community Assessment of Freeway Exposure and Health (CAFEH)”, a research project is being undertaken by a Tufts research group under the supervision of professor Doug Brugge (Tufts University School of Medicine). My role in this project is to use my GIS based three-Dimensional Digital Geography (3DIG) for estimating the 3D distribution of exposed population to highway traffic emissions; and also to apply GIS for calculating the topographic and environmental factors and develop land-use regression models for estimating the spatial variation of air pollutant levels. In addition, I have visited the US Los Alamos National Laboratory for taking the training course of the Quick Urban & Industrial Complex (QUIC) Dispersion Modeling System for 3D pollutant distribution simulation. QUIC is comprised of a 3D wind field model called QUIC-URB, a transport and dispersion model called QUIC-PLUME, a pressure solver, QUIC-PRESSURE, and graphical user interface called QUIC-GUI. Chemical, biological, and radiological (CBR) agent dispersion can be computed on building to neighborhood scales in tens of seconds to tens of minutes. Until now, no research applied QUIC model to estimate the 3D pollutant distribution at an urban area in Taiwan. Street canyon is an important urban topographic factor in the simulation process of QUIC. The link between “Urban hazard prevention, Exposure assessment, Public health and Environmental Changes” is expected to be developed by importing QUIC into Taiwan for practically applying the academic results of geographic research on public health and environmental changes. I was back to Taiwan in June, 2013 and then joined the research group headed by the executive vice president, SU, HUEY-JEN (蘇慧貞) in the Department of Environmental & Occupational Health, National Cheng Kung University. Currently, I am teaching in the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, National Chiayi University as an assistant professor.

.

 

Since publications are the most objective metric of academic performance, my research reports have been successfully submitted to prestigious journals in the field. My articles have been recognized by various journals of SCI, EI, TSSCI journals, such as “ISPRS Journal of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (SCI, Impact Factor: 3.313)”, “Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology (SCI, Impact Factor: 3.187)”, “Water Resources Management (SCI, Impact Factor: 2.259)”, “International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation (SCI, Impact Factor: 2.176)”, “Canadian Journal of Forest Research (SCI, IF: 1.559)”, “Journal of Population Study (TSSCI)”, “City and Planning (TSSCI)”, ”Journal of Geographical Science (TSSCI)”, “Journal of Taiwan Land Research (TSSCI)”, and “Taiwan Journal of Forest Science (EI)”. By now, I’ve published 25 journal papers.

 

In addition, in order to have more opportunities to communicate with local or international experienced researchers, I had actively participated in various kinds of local and international seminars and made several reports in those seminars, such as "2013 International Young Scientists' Conference on Integrated Research on Disaster Risk, Future Earth & Sustainability (awarded the Best Presentation prize)", " Environment and Health-Bridging South, North, East and West, Conference of ISEE, ISES and ISIAQ", “Environmental Health 2013”, “The 23rd International CODATA Conference -Open Data and Information for a Changing Planet”, “2011, and 2012 International Society of Exposure Science Conference”, “ISPRS workshop on Dynamic and Multi-dimensional GIS”, “2011 Annual Conference of Association of American Geographers”, “The 27th, 28th, 30th, 31th and 32th Asian Conference on Remote Sensing”, “The ⅩⅩⅠcongress, The International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing”, “The 7th Taipei International Digital Earth Symposium”, "2013森林集水區經營研討會", "34屆海洋工程研討會論文集", “2012台灣人口學會年會暨學術研討會”, “34屆海洋工程研討會海峽兩岸城市化與氣候、環境研究研討會”, “台灣地理學會學術研討會”, “第六屆兩岸四地土地學術研討會”, “第二十三、二十六、二十七、二十八屆及二十九屆測量及空間資訊研討會”, “2009國科會自然處永續學門成果發表會」、「第七屆土地研究學術研討會”, “2007永續發展科技與政策研討會”, “中華林學會9697年度學術論文發表會”, “辦理LIDAR之高精度及高解析度數值地形測繪、資料庫建置與應用推廣工作案成果發表暨應用研討會”, “氣候變遷與永續發展研討會”, etc. Through delivering oral presentations in these seminars, my ability of communicating with the international academics has improved significantly. In total, 23 international conference papers and 20 local conference papers have been published under my name.

 

(II) Teaching Experience

In order to nourish my ability to teach in colleges or universities, from the first day I studied in the graduate school, I have tried my best to accumulate teaching experience. Since my first year in graduate school back in 2002, I worked as an assistant instructor in the compulsive course “Surveying Science”, of the School of Forestry and Resource Conservation, National Taiwan University, two years in a row. During the period of my doctorial studies from 2005~2009, I also worked as an assistant instructor in the course, Remote Sensing, of the School of Forestry and Resource Conservation and the graduate school course, Remote Sensing Multivariate Statistical Analysis”, for 4 years in a row. When I worked as a research assistant in NSC, except project execution, I also taught graduate school students related analysis skills about spatial analysis in the “Environment and Spatial Information Research Lab” of CCU, and “Remote Sensing Experiment Lab” of NCCU. Meanwhile, I also was invited by the Land Economics Dept, NCCU in 2005 to teach in a class called “Training Seminar for Executive Human Resources of National Land Plan“, and teach related theories and skills in the seminar. From 2010 to 2013, I was invited to present my academic results in several seminars and conference meetings, such as “Annual meeting of Chinese Society of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing”, “Department of Civil Engineering in National Chiao Tung University”, “Research Center for Environmental Changes, Academia Sinica”, “Public Health and Community Medicine, Tufts University School of Medicine (US)”, “Harvard Extension School (US)”, "Center for Space and Remote Sensing Research, National Central University",  "Department of Geomatics, National Cheng Kung University", and " Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, National Chiayi University". Through these teaching and presenting experiences, not only has my teaching and expression ability been enhanced, but also my professional ability.

 

Generally speaking, I’ve been helped by many people and professors during each stage of my academic life; therefore, I do feel honored and cherish this great experience. Though I was fortunate to receive consider that I have followed the right path so far to pursue my academic goals, I am aware that I still have a lot to learn in the teaching and research fields. I consider necessary and correct for me to face every challenges in the future with a humble attitude and necessary for me to find a great place to work for and to teach and share what I’ve learned. “Department of Geography, NTNU” is a prestigious institution in the urban planning education field and I would be honored if you consider my application to become part of your amazing team.

 

Sincerely yours
