Senior Lecturer

School of Computer Science

BIO

I received the B.S. degree in mathematics education from National Taichung University of Education, Taichung, Taiwan, in 2006, and the M.S. degree in biomedical engineering from National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu Taiwan, in 2009. I received my PhD degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 2015. After one year military service, I have been an active researcher at University of Technology Sydney (UTS) since December 2016. I am currently a full-time senior lecturer in the School of Computer Science, Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at UTS since July 2020.

In the past years, I am working on dynamic cognitive science and neuro-engineering with Prof. Chin-Teng Lin in Brain Research Center (BRC), National Chiao Tung University (NCTU) and Prof. Tzyy-Ping Jung in Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience (SCCN), University of California, San Diego (UCSD). To achieve better performance of EEG-based application, I visit Human Research and Engineering Directorate in US Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and SCCN in UCSD in 2013 and 2014, respectively. The current interests of my research are to integrate the computational intelligence (CI) with neuroscience knowledge for addressing cognitive functions, discovering the relationships between brain dynamics and cognitive variables, and diagnosing neurological diseases.
