鄭建鴻教授，美國羅契斯特大學化學博士。曾任國立清華大學副校長、化學系系主任、光電中心主任、研發長及國科會自然處處長、中國化學會理事長，目前為國立清華大學特聘講座教授。曾獲多項學術榮譽事蹟：國科會傑出研究獎(1988-1990;1991-1995)、兩屆教育部「國家講座」(2004、2009年)、2009年獲選為英國皇家化學會會士、侯金堆傑出榮譽獎(2013年)、東元獎(2014年)、第14屆有庠科技獎(2016年)、第32屆中央研究院院士(2018年)。

主要研究領域是利用金屬化合物催化新的有機反應：他第一次利用銠催化劑將一氧化碳和一氧化氮轉化形成無毒性的二氧化碳和氮氣，獲得英國New Scientist科學雜誌的特別介紹。他的實驗室第一個發現鈷金屬催化有機分子間的還原偶合反應，成為合成碳 碳鍵很重要的方法；在碳氫鍵活化反應的研究上，以烯基官能基引導碳氫鍵活化、常溫下利用銠催化劑進行反應、以催化方法合成異喹啉鹽，並應用於天然物合成上。這些新催化反應，提供有機合成新的概念及簡單方便的方法。他在有機催化反應的成就，是世界上一流的，對有機催化的機制，具革命性的衝擊。

另一個領域是有機電致發光(OLED)：設計合成各種有機電致發光元件所需材料及於顯示器上之應用，探討分子設計及元件構造與發光效率之關係。發橘紅色光銥化合物及其元件的成果目前已經使用於產業界。另一銥金屬的材料是發紅光化合物，是開創台灣紅色磷光材料的研究始祖之一，曾被日本人譽為台灣之光。此外他發展的藍色主層材料也有傲人成果，曾引起Nature Publishing Group注意而被報導過。

孫天心院士

Academician Jackson T.-S. Sun received his PhD degree in Linguistics from The University of California at Berkeley in 1993. He is a Distinguished Research Fellow at the Institute of Lingustics of the Academia Sinica. He has served as Vice Director and then Director of his home institute, and also taught at the Department of Chinese at the National Tsing Hua University, the Department of Ethnology at the National Chengchi University, and the Department of Chinese at the National Taiwan Normal University. He is internationally recognized for his pioneering documentation and historical comparative work on Tibeto-Burman, and secondarily Austroasiatic, languages. Over the three decades of his employment at the academy, he has persistently applied an empirical, field-based approach to investigating a host of languages in the Sino-Tibetan family, emphasizing the discovery and description of languages and linguistic phenomena new to science. In 2018, he was elected an academician of the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences, Academia Sinica.
