I am a rising senior majoring in computer science at University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC). I will be an intern at the Illumination and Imaging Lab (ILIM) at the Robotics Institue, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). I was a one-semester visiting student at National Taiwan University. My research interest lies in machine/deep learning, computer vision/graphics, and computational photography. Specifically, I currently focus more on 3D side of computer graphics/vision.

⛰️Interests

Apart from being a machine learning and computer vision/graphics enthusiast, I enjoy mountain hiking. I have been to 39 out of 100 most famous peaks in Taiwan (台灣百岳). Taking beautiful photos in mountains and apply my skills to these photos are one of my favorite hobbies.
