廖保和樂作引線人，力促「成大華大雙邊奈米生醫光電研討會」成功！
文 / 校友聯絡中心 盧韻如
成功大學傑出校友廖保和學長（成大土木53級校友，曾榮獲1999年成大傑出校友獎與成大97年度校友傑出成就獎），日前返校參與「華盛頓大學 – 成功大學雙邊奈米生醫光電研討會」，此研討會在三月一日、二日於成功大學成功校區圖書館總館B1演講廳盛大舉行，集結兩校醫學、生科、電機領域之學者，以及奇美醫學中心之研究人員齊聚一堂，攜手研討奈米、生醫、光電相關領域之產業現況與發展，吸引不少學介與業界人士熱烈參與。身為促成此次研討會的重要推手廖保和學長，對於本次研討會的成果感到非常開心且與有榮焉，希望這次與華大成功的合作交流，能夠為成大與華大開啟一扇合作之門，使成大日後能有更多的機會與華大進行更密切的學術交流合作。
校友聯絡中心此次特別專訪廖學長，訪談內容除了此次的奈米生醫光電研討會，以及近期規劃的有關與華盛頓大學和成功大學合作交流的計畫之外，更抓住此次難得的機會，請益學長在過去求學生涯規劃與成功的事業經營歷程，期待藉由學長的親身經歷，能勉勵後進的莘莘學子，並且提供學弟妹們作為參考。
成華兩校合作計畫的幕後推手
廖學長回饋母校不遺餘力，2005年開始由學長所帶領的科精美工程公司(KCM)在華盛頓大學設立基金會，每年提供一名成大優秀學生高額獎學金，赴美國華盛頓大學攻讀博士學位，近期更致力推動成大與華大的學術交流，目前合作項目主要針對工程、電機、醫學、生科、法學、管理學院的合作，之後將陸續將合作拓展至文學院、社科院，進而締結兩校校際合作之關係，達成雙方互惠合作之終極目標。
廖學長出生於微寒的務農家庭，透過發奮念書、努力工作，不斷的挑戰自己的能力，如今學經歷俱豐，事業有成，感謝國家社會提供他受教育的機會，使自己能夠突破環境的限制，走向世界的舞臺。廖學長尤其感念母校成大與華大的栽培與造就，因此成立基金會，致力於教育資源的推展。近年來有感於台灣學術界的現狀，因此積極推動兩校之學術交流合作，盼望能為學校以及後進學弟妹們締造更優渥的學術環境，也能帶動台美兩地學界與業界間之結合，使雙方互惠共蒙其利，也能進而造福社會大眾。
談及目前兩校合作上的事宜，廖學長建議學校籌辦更多的學術交流活動，定期舉辦研討、座談會，邀請更多華大的學者專家來成大發表演講與客座教學，為學校注入更豐富的學術資源。尤其重要的是，學校應設立專人負責的機制，持續不斷發展所推行的研究項目，相信幾年之內必能有更多的突破與發展。

UW-NCKU Bilateral Workshop in Nano/Bio-Photonics
Nano/bio-photonics combing nanotechnology, biomedicine, and optoelectronics will become
a significant research theme in this century. The workshop not only focus on the two major
research themes, nano-photonics and bio-photonics, but also discuss what impact their
integration will bring to the development and vision of the related industries. Establishing
cross-pacific collaborations between University of Washington (UW) and National Cheng
Kung University (NCKU) and attracting researchers’ attentions to this innovative field are
also the goals of the workshop.
