๐Ÿงโ€โ™‚๏ธ Biography

I received my B.S. degree in 2023 from the Department of Statistics and Information Science at Fu Jen Catholic University (FJCU), Taiwan, where I was advised by Prof. Hao-Chiang Shao. I recently completed my M.S. degree at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), where I conducted research at the Advanced Computer Vision Laboratory (ACVLAB) under the mentorship of Prof. Chih-Chung Hsu and the Computational Photography Laboratory at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), working with Prof. Yu-Lun Liu. I will be pursuing my Ph.D. at the University at Albany, State University of New York (SUNY), where I will continue my research collaboration with Prof. Ming-Ching Chang. Find my resume here (last updated Jan 17, 2026).

My research interests include, but are not limited to, Low-level Vision Problems, Computational Photography, Hyperspectral Image Processing, Multimedia Analysis and Security, Efficient AI and Model Acceleration, and Medical Image Analysis.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling โœˆ๏ธ, capturing moments through photography ๐Ÿ“ธ, and making desserts ๐Ÿฐ.
