Student and Associate Members
Chao Ming Chuang
PhD Student Member
Mr. Chao Ming Chuang is a sedimentologist currently working in the Central Geological Survey of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Taiwan. He is also a PhD candidate at the Department of Earth Sciences, National Central University, Taiwan.
