As a plant biology graduate student, I explore how cyanobacteria that can use far-red light are distributed and diversified in extreme environments, such as hot springs and intertidal zones. I am also interested in the genes that enable them to adapt to far-red light photoacclimation (FaRLiP). I apply various techniques ranging from field sampling to isolation and sequencing and analyze the data using bioinformatics. In my spare time, I enjoy playing video games and hanging out with friends at bars.

I am a master student interesting in molecular biology in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Graduated from National Chung Hsing University (NCHU), where my academic focus encompassed plant, microorganism and molecular biology. Since I aspire to develop deeper insights into plants and cyanobacteria, I have been most draw into plant biology and microbiology. This eagerness is what drives me to join Ho Lab to study more about far-red-light-utilizing system in cyanobacteria. Beyond the confines of the lab, I love drawing and listening to music.

Yu-Ting Huang 黃榆婷 

Master student (Life Science)

I am an undergraduate student studying methods for isolating cyanobacteria, which apply visible light or far-red light for photosynthesis,  from the natural environment. I am fascinated by microbiology and plant biology. Outside the lab, I enjoy listening to music, participating in art-related exhibitions or activities, staying in quiet spaces, and spending time with fluffy animals like cats and dogs. Therefore, I love going to cat cafés when available.

Master student (Life Science)

I am a master's student with a passion for molecular biology and microbiology. I love exploring life at the microscopic level. To learn more about plants and cyanobacteria, I joined Professor Ho's lab. My research focuses on studying the function of linker proteins in thylakoid-free cyanobacterium . Outside the lab, I enjoy baking and photography.

Tzu-Ling Chen 陳梓綾

Master student (Plant Biology)

I am a master student study in plant biology, having graduated from the Department of Agronomy at National Chung Hsing University. I’m interested in studying photosynthesis and physiology functions through far-red light (FRL) cyanobacteria. I am focused on researching the photosynthesis of cyanobacteria and screening strains for use in achieving net-zero carbon emissions.

Outside of the laboratory, I enjoy drinking tea and coffee, as well as engaging in water activities.
