I am currently a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering at University of Washington. I am working with Prof. Jenq-Neng Hwang and the Information Prcoessing Lab.

Prior to that, I received my M.S. degree in ECE at University of Washington and B.S. degree in EE at National Taiwan University. I worked with Prof. Yu-Chiang Frank Wang at the Vision and Learning Lab on computer vision.

My research interests lie around Multi-Object Tracking (Single-View, Multi-View, Cross-View) in complex scenes (Underwater, Drone, Multi-Camera System).
