🧍‍♂️ Biography

I am currently a M.S. student with the Advanced Computer Vision Laboratory (ACVLAB) at the Institute of Data Science, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan. I am fortunate to be advised by and work with Prof. Chih-Chung Hsu (NCKU).

I received a B.S. degree at the Department of Statistics and Information Science, Fu Jen Catholic University (FJCU), Taiwan, in 2023. I was advised by Prof. Hao-Chiang Shao.

My research interests include:

• Low-level computer vision problems
• Multimedia information security

I am also exploring other computer vision-related fields which are interested to me, such as Trustworthy/Efficient AI.
