About Me (CV)

I am a fourth-year PhD Candidate at department of ECE, UT Austin, advised by Prof. Alan Bovik. Before coming to UT Austin, I got my M.S. degree at department of CSIE, National Taiwan University supervised by Prof. Winston Hsu and completed my B.Eng. degree at the department of ECE, National Chiao Tung University in June 2016.

My research interest mainly lies in Video Cropping, Video-language Modeling, and Image/Video Synthesis. Previously, I am fortunate to work with Prof. Min Sun (NTHU, Amazon), Prof. Ziwei Liu (NTU Singapore), Prof. Ping Luo (HKU) and Dr. Kaipeng Zhang (Shanghai AI Lab).

I am looking for a full-time position or an internship in the mid of 2026!
