About me

I am a third year Ph.D. student in Computer Science Division, EECS Department, at University of California, Berkeley. I'm also a member of Berkeley Institute of Design. My advisor is Prof. John Canny. I'm also an alumnus of Users Group at IBM Research Almaden and Intel Research Seattle. My research interests span Human Computer Interaction and Ubiquitous Computing, focusing on healthcare IT.

I am originally from Taiwan. I gradated at 2006 from Deopartment of Computer Science and Information Engineering at National Taiwan University in Taipei, Taiwan. I worked with Ubicomp Lab and my adviosr was Prof. Hao Chu. In my master program, I was focusing on user-centric and intelligent artifacts which bridge physical to digital. The major project is dietary-aware dining table, which monitors nutrition and calories of food intake by tracking the food transfer interactions into personal containers during courses of a meal. This project is envisioned to give just-in-time persuasive feedbacks, changing our behaviors to eat healthier.
