Future Plan
Commercialization, together with further technology development, is inevitable to secure sustainable ocean development with scale. We aim to enhance our two main research activities, "Ocean Industrial Science and Technology" and "Fusion of ocean engineering and technology innovation" through close communication with industry.
Messages to Students
Curiosity and intelligence is inevitable to become a pioneer of the vast ocean.
