I’m an active person with strong learning abilities, being profoundly inspired by programming when I was young. In junior high school, I self-learned Visual Basic 6.0 for making simple programs and won first prize in science fair competition. In senior high school, I learned C language along with algorithms and data structures, and won 5th ~ 10th place in Taiwan Olympiad in Informatics. These series of events firmly established my outstanding programming skills. In college, I majored in mechatronics and attained relevant skills for various applications. I teamed up with schoolmates for developing an alarm clock that can awake people using a specific fragrance and earned 40,000NTD in a fundraising event. During this period, I acquired PCB layout skills and the ability for practical usage of microcontrollers, IC chips and different electronic components. I have lots of practical experiences for machine learning and data mining using neural networks (Python + Tensorflow), and won first prize in a competition held by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (Big Data Analytics for Semiconductor Manufacturing). I also have experience in designing digital logic circuits using Verilog and Hspice, and obtained high scores in class. My graduate research topic focuses on interdigitated array electrode chips applied to electrochemical impedimetric biosensing. I learned the complete microfabrication process for microelectrodes and microfluidic chips, utilized Raspberry Pi for developing a wireless and miniaturized website-controlled impedance detection device, and applied those to my own research. Accordingly, I wrote a full research article as first author, and published it on an international journal (Electrochimica Acta, IF = 5.383) (DOI: 10.1016/j.electacta.2019.134629). Now, I currently work as research assistant in my lab, and take the lead in research and development.
