I was born and raised in Taiwan. I fell in love with rocks and fossils at the age of five when my parents took me to the first dinosaur exhibition in Taiwan. As a geologist specializing in chronostratigraphic interpretation of fossil evidence, my research mainly uses the 40Ar/39Ar and U/Pb methods to constrain the time scale of biological evolution, mass extinction events and global climate change.
