IAMS Fun Facts
IAMS Logo
In 1995, IAMS invited Taiwanese artist Ms. Jill Lin to design the institute's logo. The design integrates the letters "A" (Atomic) and "M" (Molecular) while incorporating the Chinese character "鼎", a threelegged ritual vessel symbolizing stability and strength. This logo embodies the fusion of science and art while also serving as a tribute to Dr. Chau-Ting Chang, whose Chinese name includes the character "鼎".
The Public Art Bronze Sculpture "Cooperative Rivalry"
Following the renovation of the Dr. Poe Lecture Hall in 2009, the new public art bronze sculpture "Cooperative Rivalry" was installed outside the hall. The sculpture, designed and created by Taiwanese sculptor Mr. Sheu, Wei-Jong and generously donated by Materials Analysis Technology Inc. (MA-tek), was unveiled in early 2010. The "Cooperative Rivalry" symbolizes a place where talented researchers drive each other toward excellence through friendly competition and heartfelt collaboration.
