I am a second-year Ph.D. student in Computer Science at University of California, Santa Barbara. I am very fortunate to be advised by  Prabhanjan Ananth. My research interests lie in quantum computing and quantum information.

Prior to joining UCSB, I was a research assistant working at Institute of Information Science (IIS), Academia Sinica under the supervision of Kai-Min Chung. I received my bachelor's and master's degree both from National Taiwan University.
