Research Leader

  1. I was the Singapore Research Leader to conduct research (2002-2004) on industrial productivity in ASEAN region. The research was funded by National Science Council of Taiwan (Contract number NSC92-2416-H006-001) and implemented by National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan (The research contract information is also given in http://140.116.50.130/apmr/apmrsp/foreword.pdf). This research pertaining to each country was discussed and led by the Research Leader. The subjects covered in research were divided into productivity, research and development, technological development, human resource, and economics. One research paper based on the findings has been published.

Investigator in Energy Studies

  1. I was one of two principal investigators to conduct a study on wood energy situation in Nepal. The study was funded by the Regional Wood Energy Development Program of the Food and Agriculture Organization/Bangkok (FAO). The grant for this study was provided by the FAO and Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) in 1999-2001. A four part report has been published based on this study

(http://www.rwedp.org/acrobat/gp_planning_nep_P1.pdf).
