About

I am a PhD student at National Taiwan University being advised by Hao-Hua Chu and Polly Huang . I received my bachelor degree at National Taiwan University of Science and Technology in 2008. I was in master program at National Taiwan University from 2008 to 2010.

Research

I am interested in creating embedded, sensory systems that can demonstrate how new digital technologies can play an important role in people's everyday living environments and bring benefits to people's everyday activities. In addition, I also want to explore how to use available sensors on a mobile phone to create applications/systems for everyday people, as mobile phones with a wide variety of built-in sensors are expected to be pervasive in the near future.

Work Experience

From 03/2010 to 08/2010, I interned at Microsoft Research Asia working on platform services for mobile phones.

From 10/2006 to 02/2007, I was a visiting student at UC Berkeley working on debris flow monitoring system by using wireless sensor network.

Teaching

I have TAed graduate courses at National Taiwan University for Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing Spring 2009, Fall 2010 and Spring 2012.
