About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at NTU and a member of CMLab, advised by Prof. Cheng-Fu Chou. I also collaborate closely with Prof. Tsung-Wei Ke and serve as a Research Assistant at Academia Sinica under the supervision of Dr. Jun-Cheng Chen.

Before joining NTU, I received my M.S. degree in Applied Mathematics from NYCU, advised by Prof. Wen-Wei Lin. My background in applied mathematics and mathematical modeling shapes how I develop AI algorithms that balance theoretical rigor with practical impact.

I have gained industry experience through internships at Appier, Intel, and SinoPac, strengthening my engineering judgment and ability to translate AI research into real-world solutions.

Research

  1. Computer VisionI focus on low-level vision through deep learning and mathematical modeling, developing principled methods for recovering visual information from incomplete or degraded observations.
  2. Generative ModelsI study diffusion models and flow matching, particularly inference-time guidance and structured prior modeling, to improve controllability, efficiency, and reliability.
  3. Trustworthy AII investigate robustness and safety in generative models, including adversarial attacks and machine unlearning, to better understand vulnerabilities and build more reliable systems.
