Experience

Research Assistant at Networking and Multimedia Systems Lab in NTHU.

2021 - Present
Advisor: Professor Cheng-Hsin Hsu
Research Assistant at Networking and Multimedia Systems Lab in NTHU. I have worked on serveral immersive multimedia projects, includes “Immersive Video Streaming for 6 Degree-of-Freedom Interactions”, “Optimal Camera Placement for 6 Degree-of-Freedom Multicast of 3D Scenes”, and “Enabling XR Cloud Gaming in 6G Cellular Networks”.

Teaching Assistant in Introduction to Computer Networks Course.

Fall 2023

This course is offered in English. And my works include:

  • Supported students in understanding fundamental concepts, assignments, and lab work.
  • Conducted tutorials, held office hours, and guided students, aiding in their comprehension of networking principles and practical applications.
  • Collaborated with course instructors in designing materials, assessments, and grading, ensuring an effective learning experience for students.

NTHU Student Cluster Competition Team Member.

2021
The goal of this team is to training and selecting team members for the APAC HPC-AI Compe- tition. I have learned the concepts of Computer Architecture, Operating System, Network, and Parallel Programing in the hands-on experiments. I also got familiar with installing and using the Linux OS (CentOS), Network Address Translation (NAT), Network File System (NFS), and Message Passing Interface (MPI).

Dazzle Corporation Website Frontend Develop.

Taiwan
2020
This goal of this project was to develop a website with both frontend and simple backend for a manufacturing company which is called DAZZLE. In this project, I was responsible for the UI/UX design, frontend development, project management, and client supports. My partner was working on the backend developing. This is the first commercial project that I was involved in. From this project, I have learned the way to develop the website, utilize my knowledge of design in UI/UX design, negotiate with the client and analyze their requirements, the profit, and the cost.
