AI & Biomedicine

My work is centered on building AI-driven pathology models and agents. I pivoted from physics to applied biomedicine with the goal of building technologies that matter.

PhD Student, Harvard University: In The Yu Lab, developing AI to predict gene mutations, interpret biomarkers, and optimize patient-enrollment workflows for clinical studies.
Mentor: Kun-Hsing Yu.

Software Engineering

I've worked at early-stage startups and big tech, building products and establishing engineering best practices.

Heptabase: Teamed with a strong technical and design group at a YC-backed startup to build interactive mind-mapping features.
Microsoft: Contributed to the front end of AI Studio and strengthened cross-team communication.
CMoney: Developed HR tools at a mid-size fintech company to automate screening and data access.

Physics & Engineering

My technical background is in engineering, physics, and machine learning.

B.S. Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University: Focused on photonics, signal processing, and ML.
IPhO Gold Medal: Won a gold medal at the 2017 International Physics Olympiad.
Undergrad Research: Studied reinforcement learning (Shao-Hua Sun), physics-informed ML (Guoyang Li), and photonics (Shih-Wei Chu).
