I'm a PhD candidate at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, where my research focuses on machine learning and remote sensing for food security. I am fortunate to be advised by Arindam Banerjee and Ximing Cai. At UIUC, I worked closely with Adam J. Stewart on TorchGeo. I have worked with amazing collaborators from Allen Institue for AI and Microsoft AI For Good Lab.

Before joining UIUC, I was a visiting scholar awarded a full-year scholarship to study at The University of Tokyo. I visited Myanmar for observing tidal bore and collecting land use data while studying at UTokyo. I wrote a series of blog posts for the field trip. In 2018, I was a deep learning research intern at PASCO Corporation, where I researched convolutional neural networks and satellite imagery.

I obtained my B.S. and M.S. at National Taiwan University, where I worked on remote sensing satellite images and machine learning coupled with flood simulation to assess the impacts of extreme events caused by climate change with Ching-Pin Tung (NTU) and Akiyuki Kawasaki (UTokyo).

Interests: remote sensing, machine learning, food security, flooding, water resources management
