「失敗為好研究及高點數論文之母」Prof. Vincent Tung 國際合聘學者特別演講
來自 #日本 #東京大學 化學系統工程系的 #童俊智教授,今日在長庚大學帶來一場滿載啟發與真實的演講。
從 #清華大學 三修物理化學、碩士班休學,到當助理教授後一口氣被連續拒絕17個計畫申請——Prof. Tung 的故事提醒我們,失敗不是浪費,是累積。
他以「Connecting the Dots」為題,鼓勵大家勇敢嘗試、持續累積,因為當下看不懂的點,回頭才懂,終將連成線。
他也分享了成為一位創新研究者的5大關鍵心法:
觀察與想像力是創意的起點,靈感往往藏在日常之中。
不要害怕跨領域合作,與不同領域的知識融合,常能激盪出意想不到的火花。與不同背景的人交朋友,創新來自多元觀點的激盪。
靈感其實無所不在,只要我們保持開放的心。就算失敗,也是一種前進,累積經驗會在未來某刻發光。
將生活中的小細節與研究巧妙結合,創造高 “Wow-Woo factor” 的研究成果。
想與人合作?請先做好準備,Don't be afraid, be prepared. 設身處地站在他人立場,理解別人的難處,才能真正找到合作的切入點。
「未來的你,一定會感謝現在努力的自己。」
Prof. Tung 的話語不只是對研究者的激勵,更是對所有追夢者的溫柔提醒。
感謝今天所有到場的師生,一起聆聽這場誠懇而深刻的分享。
“Failure as the Mother of Great Research and High-Impact Publications” —
Special Lecture by Prof. Vincent Tung, International Joint Faculty
Today at Chang Gung University, we were honored to welcome Prof. Vincent
Tung from the Department of Chemical System Engineering, The University of
Tokyofor an
inspiring and authentic talk.
From failing physical chemistry three times at #NationalTsingHuaUniversity, taking a leave from
graduate school, to facing 17 consecutive rejections on grant proposals as an
assistant professor — Prof. Tung’s journey is a powerful reminder that failure
is not a waste, it’s accumulation.
With the theme “Connecting the Dots”, he encouraged everyone to take bold
steps and keep building, because the dots we don’t understand now will
eventually make sense — and connect — when we look back.
He also shared 5 key mindsets that shape innovative researchers:
Observation and imagination are the foundation of creativity — inspiration
often hides in everyday life.
Don’t be afraid to collaborate across disciplines. Merging knowledge from
different fields and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds can spark
unexpected breakthroughs.
Ideas are everywhere — if we stay open-minded. Even failure is a step
forward; the experiences we gain today may shine in the future.
Combine everyday details with research cleverly to create projects with a
high “Wow-Woo factor.”
Want to collaborate? Start by preparing yourself. Don’t be afraid, be
prepared. And most importantly, understand others' challenges by seeing things
from their perspective — that’s the real entry point for meaningful
collaboration.
“Your future self will thank you for the effort you're putting in today.”
Prof. Tung's message wasn't just for researchers — it was a heartfelt
encouragement to everyone chasing their dreams.
Thank you to all the students and faculty who joined us today for this
sincere and thought-provoking session.
