Born and raised in Taiwan when the CO₂ level was still 351 ppm. Spent a couple years in the U.S. east and west coasts for my Ph.D. and postdoc, respectively. In 2023, I founded the first research group in Taiwan that focuses on the Earth's cryosphere. Love hiking and skiing/snowboarding.

My research interests include understanding how planetary surfaces are shaped, how the cryosphere is changing due to global warming, how remote sensing techniques and data can be used to address geoscience and environmental issues, and how open science practices can lower the barriers to conducting Earth science research. I collaborate with multiple scientific teams worldwide, working with high-resolution satellite data to uncover hidden truths in observations. We process optical, SAR, multispectral, and altimetry datasets. To ensure efficient workflows, we have developed several software packages tailored for cryospheric remote sensing analysis.

Before founding the NCU CryoSensing team, I was involved in the "Jupyter Meets the Earth" project team at the University of California, Berkeley, focusing on two objectives: (1) developing highly interactive Earth science workflows to facilitate cutting-edge scientific exploration, and (2) applying physics-based statistical learning methods to understand the driving mechanisms behind the accelerated loss of land ice.

Our team's active research projects span glacial physics, glacial hydrology, glacier mass balance, remote sensing data processing, data science, and the cryosphere of other planetary systems. My past research also includes surface deformation caused by volcanic activities, using InSAR to detect aseismic deformation during earthquakes, and flexture modeling of Saturn's icy moon Iapetus.
