About Me

My current research lies at the intersection of generative modeling, multimodal AI, and visual reasoning, with a particular focus on diffusion-based models and their applications in computer vision.

I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, where I am now continuing my journey as a Ph.D. candidate.
