Dr. Ann-Shyn Chiang received his Ph.D. in 1990 and completed postdoctoral training at Rutgers University in 1992. He joined National Tsing Hua University as an Associate Professor in 1992, became a Professor in 1997, and took a sabbatical at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in 2001. In 2011, he became an adjunct faculty member at the Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind at UC San Diego.

Dr. Chiang is known for his pioneering connectomics research on memory. His work includes the first brain-wide wiring diagram in Drosophila, which The New York Times described as a step toward mapping the human brain. His discoveries, including the role of protein synthesis in long-term memory, were featured in Taiwan’s first full article in Science in 2012.

He has received numerous honors, including election as an Academician of Academia Sinica (2014), TWAS Prize in Biology (2012), and the National Chair Award (2015, 2020). He is currently the Director of the Brain Research Center and Distinguished Chair Professor at National Tsing Hua University.

江安世教授於1990年獲得博士學位，並於1992年在美國羅格斯大學完成博士後研究。同年，他加入國立清華大學擔任副教授，1997年晉升為教授，並於2001年在冷泉港實驗室進行學術休假。2011年，他成為美國加州大學聖地亞哥分校卡夫利大腦與心智研究所的兼任教授。

江教授以其在記憶研究領域的開創性「連結組學」（connectomics）研究聞名。他的研究成果包括首張果蠅全腦神經連結圖，《紐約時報》曾將其評為邁向繪製人類大腦地圖的重要一步。他的發現——包括蛋白質合成在長期記憶中的關鍵作用——於2012年發表在《Science》，這也是台灣首次以完整論文形式登上該期刊。

他獲得許多重要榮譽，包括當選為中央研究院院士（2014年）、獲頒世界科學院（TWAS）生物學獎（2012年），以及國家講座主持人獎（2015年、2020年）。目前，他擔任國立清華大學腦科學研究中心主任兼清華特聘講座教授。
