Holding a bachelor’s degree in biomedical science, Vy actively explores the intersection of biology, medicine, and technology to address real-world challenges in healthcare. She positively takes the opportunity to widen her bandwidth in a cross-disciplinary spectrum. Her prior experiences were focused on molecular biology, microbiology, and infectious diseases, including studies on antimicrobial resistance. Vy first joined the BioMagNES Group in 2025 as a research intern of the Taiwan Experience Education Program (TEEP), where she explored bioengineering tools to investigate TME modulated by TAM. After TEEP internship, Vy excitedly rejoined the group this summer to embark on her master’s studies at NTHU and continue the TAM project. She loves to immerse herself in the research-driven campus (i.e., NTHU), figuring out research puzzles while horning her hands-on skills.
Vy enjoys listening to music, playing volleyball and badminton, and recording daily vlogs to capture meaningful moments. Those activities let her stay balanced, creative, and motivated beyond workspace.
