Chang, Ting
Hello everyone! I am Zoe. I love to swim and drawing pictures.I am happy to join in this iGEM group. Many things I have learned from the process. It is truely a good experience to me forever. Zoe is the head of experiment group 1 which are responsible for assembling the first half circuits of our i-butanol-producing enzymes. She is the chief designer of our animation.
Hsieh, Hsin-Yun
Hello, She's Lisa Hsieh. She enjoys the process of the experiment with teammates. She likes to draw pictures. With a little perfectism, it took her 2 days to finish team's mascot. She especially likes to drink a cup of hot cocoa after a long day work, and she believes cocoa can cure all diseases! Lisa worked with Zoe and Pearl to construct PSB II + ilvC and Ptet + B0032 + Gli1. She is the designer of our cute robot mascot.
Yu, Chun-Wei
Chun-Wei is a 3rd year biotechnology student at NCTU, love nature and playing guitar also love biology. He joined iGEM to get involved in the world-changing field of synthetic biology. Together with Jenny, Chun-Wei assembled the first two part of our enzyme series, and did the tolerance experiment. He is also an important role in our Human practice who trained students to be our human practice staffs.

As a student majoring in biological science and technology in the third year in NCTU, Chia-Jung always want to know the logic and consequences behind things around him. He likes Chemistry and Biology particularly. In his free time, he likes playing tennis and training to improve his skill. Chia-Jung is the leader of 2012 NCTU-Formosa. He worked with group 2 to assemble biobrick and participated in summer camp as a TA.
Yu, Chieh-Cheng
Charlie white yu is a third-year student National Chiao Tung University who is majoring in Biological Science and Technology. He thought iGEM would be a great opportunity to further his knowledge of genetics, gain valuable research experience, and explore possible area of interest. Charlie is in charge of survey jobs and souvenir design. He was a menber of group 2 and also a TA in our summer camp.
Lin, I
Hi, my name is Lin I. I am from Taiwan and I major in Biotechnology in National Chiao Tung University. Playing basketball and listening classical music are my hobbies. It is really exciting and pleasant that I can be one of the 2012 iGEM team members. However, this is not all about me. If you have willing to contact me, maybe we will become friend! I is the “pro” of constructing biobricks in group 2. No matter how hard is it, I can built it. He also made our opening clip with Kyle.
Peng, Kai-Chun
Hi! I'm Kyle, a third year student contributing in Bio-technology at National Chiao Tung University of Taiwan. I'm interest in planting a variety of carnivorous plants which are so beautiful and enigmatic. I’m looking forward to meeting other school team. I hope it may be a real eye-opener for me. Besides being a member of group 2, Kyle played an important role in our summer camp. He edited handout written by TAs, designed courses, experiments and iGEM lectures. And he is the head of our video team which made our opening clip and animation.
Tsai, Lu-An
TSAI, Lu-An is a Qusai-Bachelor of NCTU, the adherent of Adeptus scientia and Preacher of capitalism. He loves the smell of napalm in the morning, the view of chaos in parliament. By using strange logic and weird metaphor, he can confuse the listeners, and Unfortunately himself. Besides being a member of group 2, Lu-An is the head of wiki group which made our beautiful team wiki. He also gave a lecture to students with pearl in summer camp.
Chung, Chia-Jung
Hello, I'm Pearl. I like to do experiments, and I go to lab rain or shine even on typhoon. Besides that, I like to chat with friend. I wear a big smile on my face .I like to practice cheerleading, too. Together with Lisa and Zoe, Pearl to construct PSB II + ilvC and Ptet + B0032 + Gli1. And she is the main designer of our T-shirt. She also gave a lecture to students with Lu-An in summer camp.
Cheng, Yu-Che
CHENG Yu-Che is a third year biotechnology student at National Chiao-Tung University. He's addicted to synthetic biology and molecular biology. So he may go this way in the future and keep playing table tennis which he is good at. Yu-Che assembled zif268 and alsS and optimized the growth condition in which E. coli can produce most i-butanol with vicky.
Hsu, Tzu-Yun
Jenny Hsu is a third-year student who is majoring in Biotechnology in National Chiao Tung University. She enjoys doing the experiments, cooking, and making handicraft. She thinks that attending 2012 iGEM is a good experience to her, and hopes she can make many friends in iGEM and share knowledge with each other. Jenny assembled the first two part of our enzyme series, and did the tolerance experiment with Chun-Wei. She also played an important role in summer camp. She connected our department for fund and gathered students to make our plan come true.
Calvin Hue
I’m a Photonics major in NCTU. I was overwhelmed with the fun during our cooperation and learned how practical and systematic Bioscience can be. It’s also my pleasure to get involved in this project and make friends with people in other field. At the moment, I'm mainly working on the wiki site. I hope to make it user-friendly and eye-pleasing.
