I like using computation and engineering to understand and interact with physical, environmental, and biological systems.

What connects the work

Build. Test.
Understand.

Programming first taught me to break complex problems into smaller parts. Robotics showed me that code also has to work with motors, mechanisms, sensors, power, and real-world uncertainty.

That interest expanded through SDG engineering projects and marine-conservation experiences. At NMMBA and HIMB, I saw how environmental science connects with sensing, mapping, AI, and engineering.

I now carry those questions into an independent aquarium fish-detection system and an autonomous mobile robot development platform. Robotics and computer vision are tools that connect my interests—not substitutes for the physical and environmental problems themselves.

From problem solving
to systems thinking.

FOUNDATIONS

Programming

C++ and algorithms through competitive programming and the SPROUT program; advancement to USACO Gold.

PHYSICAL CONSTRAINTS

VEX & SDG projects

Competition robots, Heron’s Fountain, microplastic separation, the Ocean Challenge, and an AI Fridge. Testing and rebuilding made iteration central to the work.

FIELD LEARNING

NMMBA & HIMB

Completed the Taiwan Global Pathfinders program, connecting coral conservation with measurement and engineering.

SUMMER 2026

NYCU lab learning

YOLO workflows at the Adaptive Photonics Laboratory, Tainan, with day-to-day guidance mainly from a senior lab member.

CURRENT / GRADE 12

Independent systems

Ongoing aquarium detection and tracking tests, alongside a reusable 24V AMR platform with advanced autonomy still under development.

A practical toolkit.

Different disciplines.
A shared question.

Environmental Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are my central academic interests. Computer Science, Robotics, Computer Vision, Bioengineering, and Environmental Science offer additional ways to understand systems that compute, move, and live.

What connects them for me is the relationship between a model and the world it is meant to describe—or act on.
