I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Electronics and Electrical Engineering of National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), starting from Feb. 2026. I am the director of Social Lab (人本訊號運算實驗室).
I received my Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) in 2025, under supervision of Prof. Chi-Chun (Jeremy) Lee in the BIIC Lab.
My research interests include multimodal signal processing (speech, physiology, gesture), affective computing, human-centered analytics, and trustworthy AI. I am an IEEE member and a member of ACM and ISCA.
I am the recipient of the 2025 Tsing Hua Postdoctoral Research Fellow (國立清華大學：114年清華博士後研究學者), a shortlisted participant of The Rising Stars Women in Engineering Workshop (2025), IEEE Taipei Section Best Doctoral Dissertation Award (2025), NSTC Outstanding Doctoral Students Fellowship (2022-2023) (國科會培育優秀博士生獎學金), Google Conference Scholarships (APAC) (2024, 2023), Elite-Well Doctoral Scholarship (2025), NTHU International Visiting Scholarship (2024, 2023), as well as 12 conference travel grants (including support from IEEE SPS, IEEE EMBS, AAAC, ACLCLP, NSTC, NTHU, etc.).
I am actively recruiting motivated undergraduate / Master / Ph.D. students to join our lab! If you are eager to learn the skills of Multimodal Signal Processing / Affective Computing / Human-Centered Analytics / Data Science / Trustworthy AI, or if you are interested in real-world applications such as Healthcare, LLM reasoning, and Speech Emotion Recognition systems, I warmly welcome you to reach out!! Don't hesitate to email me directly with your CV and transcripts.
