Summary

I am a baseband engineer at ITRI, contributing to 5G DU and mMIMO RU function development, and I am fulfilling my RDSS obligation through Spring 2027, with March 2027 as my earliest available start date.

In my current role, I develop UL precoding algorithms on Tensilica DSPs with SIMD optimization, integrate and verify UL/DL baseband software on target embedded SoC platforms, and work on S-plane synchronization between Renesas clock devices and Marvell baseband SoCs.

I received my Master’s degree in Communications Engineering from National Tsing Hua University in May 2024. My graduate research focused on optimization problems in MU-MIMO communication systems, and my earlier research experience included radar target detection, computer vision, and edge AI.
