πŸ§β€β™‚οΈ 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 completed my M.S. degree in 2025 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 (CPLAB) 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 Albany), where I will conduct research at the Computer Vision and Machine Learning Laboratory (CVML LAB) under the co-supervision of Prof. Ming-Ching Chang and Prof. Xin Li.
