B. Sc., Life Science             2005–2009         National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan

I received my B.S. in Plant Pathology and Microbiology from National Taiwan University. I completed my Ph.D. in Institute of Plant Biology with Dr. Hsu-Liang Hsieh at National Taiwan University, where I studied how phytochrome A integrates the jasmonic acid signal pathway via interacting with Far-red Insensitive 219/Jasmonate Resistant 1.  I have worked in the laboratory of Dr. Stan Roux at the University of Texas at Austin for more than two years, where I focused on the interacting partners of ectoapyrases (ecto-NTPDases) in Arabidopsis and establishing the monoclonal antibody detecting procedure to verify the protein level of NTP9 (nucleoside riphosphatase 9) in transgenic crops. In the Ho lab, I am interested in characterizing the PBS, PSII, and PSI from a Gloeobacter-like strain and finding FRL-using plants. 

I graduated from National Taiwan University with a Master’s degree in Fisheries Science at College of Life Science. I am currently a research assistant in the lab and enjoy working here with a group of energetic and passionate people. I am responsible for maintaining cyanobacterial cultures. I'm interested in using FRL to study photosynthesis and I hope that we could apply the system on plants as well. 

I am currently a research assistant intrigued by the interaction among cyanobacteria strains differentially acclimated to visible light and far-red light. I hope to gain a better understanding of their ecological niche and the underlying mechanisms of how they interact, utilizing approaches such as field research, molecular experiments, and bioinformatics analysis. Outside of the lab, I enjoy playing squash, watching movies, and listening to music.

I am a R&D Alternative Serviceman. I am interested in synthetic biology and molecular biology in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. I am here to get a better understanding of the far-red-light-utilizing system in cyanobacteria and looking for a chance to turn this far-red-light-triggered system into a module for gene expression in other organisms.

When I was an undergraduate, I majored in Biotechnology and studied Molecular Biology in orchid at National Cheng Kung University.

Love gardening, hiking, and fencing.

I am interested in microbiology and fascinated by all kinds of microorganisms. My project is currently focusing on the mechanism of far-red light utilizing photosystem II in cyanobacteria by applying mutagenesis experiments and measuring physiological changes.

Enjoy playng table tennis, drinking tea and being a naturalist in my free time.

My work delves into the intricate responses of Acaryochloris marina under both white light and far-red light conditions. Beyond the lab, I find joy in exploring all kinds of fresh-milk tea, especially with the blend of quarter-sugar and ice-free. In addition to my scientific pursuits, I have learned Japanese, driven by my interest in Japan's captivating songs and anime.

I participated in the NTU Life Science Summer Internship Program in 2022 and the College Student Research Scholarship in 2023. During my time in the Ho lab, I studied molecular biology techniques and spectrum measurement method of cyanobacteria. 

I am interested in photosystem I and using point mutations to investigate the relations between the structure of photosystem I and chlorophyll content.
