This is about my journey in promoting educational excellence, equity, and access.
MY STORY — I have been passionate about pursuing a career as a professor and scientist since my sophomore year as a physics undergraduate, driven by an enthusiasm for research. As an undergraduate at National Taiwan University in Taiwan, I took courses in both physics and social sciences. In a Human Rights class, we had a group discussion on educational access, focusing on students from low-income families and the causes behind their unequal access to higher education. Then, I could see a case study in my own family. Born into a low-income family in a rural area of southern Taiwan, my parents did not have the opportunity to attend high school; they had no choice but to work part-time since elementary school and full-time after junior high school. After taking several more classes to deepen my understanding of the systemic causes of the issue, I reflected deeply, realizing how fortunate I was to have hard-working parents who maintained a healthy family environment and respected my academic interests, allowing me to chase my dreams freely. These experiences shaped my commitment to becoming an academic who not only pushes the boundaries of science and technology but also helps broaden access to education, effective mentoring, and scientific opportunities—particularly for students who may not have the resources or networks to pursue their ambitions easily.

ABOUT THE PAGE — As a first-generation student and scientist, I have been dedicated to teaching, mentoring, service, and outreach in Taiwan and the United States. Especially since moving to the United States to begin my PhD, I have been pursuing excellence in teaching and mentoring, engaging in meaningful science communication, and contributing to university initiatives on mentoring, education, student well-being, and community building. Here (starting in 2023), I would like to use this webpage for public outreach and educational purposes. With training in science communication, my goal is to share the fascinating research field of quantum materials with the general audience. Above all, I will engage you with the frontiers of quantum materials science that can change how we understand the world and revolutionize modern technologies. Are you ready? Let's get started!
What are Quantum Materials?
What are Quantum Materials?
Unlike ordinary materials, quantum materials possess extraordinary properties that cannot be explained using conventional scientific theories. Instead, their behavior is governed by the principles of many-body quantum physics, a theory that describes the fundamental workings of matter. Researchers have made groundbreaking advancements in electronics, energy generation, semiconductors, and quantum computers by understanding and engineering the unique properties of quantum materials.
