Note: I have applied for PhD admission for Fall 2026.

I am a Research Assistant in Computer Science at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), supervised by Prof. Yu-Lun Liu at the Computational Photography Lab.

My current research focuses on 3D/4D scene reconstruction and generation. I recently authored Splannequin (WACV 2026), which reconstructs static scenes from casual monocular videos through self-anchoring. More broadly, I am interested in developing robust and interesting applications by grounding them in fundamental algorithmic analysis. My goal is to build intelligent systems that can perceive and reconstruct the visual world as effectively as humans do.

Previously, I completed my M.S. in ECE at UCLA and my B.S. in Electrophysics at NCTU (now NYCU). Prior to my current focus, I worked on privacy-preserving AI and IoT security, leading to publications in MobiCom and IEEE IoT-J.
