About

Hello, I’m Alex!

  1. I was working as a R&D engineer in a medical service process startup, where I was responsible for biomedical signal algorithm development and handled some project management tasks.

  2. I have a master’s degree in Brain Science from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. I have experience in brain science, intelligent healthcare big data, and specialize in physiological signal analysis, nonlinear science, medical AI.

  3. I have dual bachelor’s degrees in Aeronautics and Astronautics (AA) and Psychology from National Cheng Kung University. My AA thesis was related to SLAM, image recognition, and optimization. I also took elective courses in multivariate analysis in the Institute of Psychology, which led me to specialize in statistics.
