Summary

I received my Master’s degree in Communications Engineering from NTHU in May 2024. My research primarily focuses on solving optimization challenges in communication systems, and my earlier research endeavors include radar target detection, computer vision, and edge AI.

I am working full-time at ITRI as a software engineer, designing real-time baseband algorithms for 5G NR and developing hardware-dependent DSP code that runs on our custom-designed RISC-V processors.
