About Me – AI Researcher & Board Rider
I spend my days teaching machines to see into the future. As a recent Computer Science PhD graduate from NTUST (Taiwan Tech), my work in the SPML Lab centers on a singular challenge: How can we make AI perceive complex human environments in real-time? My research focuses on Spatio-Temporal Deep Learning and Multimodal AI (Vision-Language Models), bridging the gap between high-level architectural design and efficient edge-AI deployment, I’m driven by the goal of making autonomous systems safer through smarter spatio-temporal reasoning.
The best ideas don’t always happen behind a monitor
My mental reset is found in the fluid dynamics of motion—whether it’s the split-second intuition of surfing the wase in Yilan, carving through the narrow streets of Taipei on my skateboard, or developing virtual worlds in Unreal Engine. These moments of “flow state” help me wind down from my work and provide the essential ignition for my creativity.
