Summary

I received my Master’s degree in Communications Engineering from National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), under the guidance of Professor Wei-Ho Chung. My research is primarily dedicated to solving optimization challenges in practical RIS-assisted MU-MISO mmWave systems, applying the Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) algorithm of Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) along with the conventional communications algorithm of Maximum Ratio Transmission (MRT). In addition, my earlier research endeavors encompass radar target detection, computer vision, and edge AI. Notably, I developed a custom YOLOv3 model from scratch, showcasing my capability to innovate and implement advanced technological solutions.

Job hunting

I am actively seeking entry-level positions in Hsinchu, Zhubei, and Zhunan. While I have a focused interest in embedded firmware, system software, and AI/DSP/communications algorithms, I am open to exploring all potential opportunities, regardless of their direct alignment with my academic background. I am a keen and passionate learner, equipped to quickly adapt and excel in fast-paced environments, mastering necessary skills and knowledge along the way.
