Professor, Department of Geosciences, National Taiwan University
I was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan. My interest in rocks and fossils began at the age of five, when my parents took me to Taiwan’s first dinosaur exhibition in the 1980s. As a geologist specializing in the chronostratigraphic interpretation of fossil evidence, I primarily use the ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar and U–Pb methods to constrain the timescales of biological evolution and mass extinction events, with a particular focus on the Mesozoic. Since becoming director of the AMS Radiocarbon Laboratory at National Taiwan University in the summer of 2026, I have expanded my research to include more recent events, including archaeological, volcanic, and climatic events.
