Air Force of R.O.C., Taiwan (2010-2011)

       I've worked as a Second Lieutenant Political Warfare Officer (Compulsory) in Air Force, Ministry of National Defense R.O.C., Taichung for 11 months, and I finished the training program as top 5% trainees.(see Fig. 1 below)

Volunteer & Service and Humanities Experience Camp

    I really like to do volunteer in my free time, because I believe that helping and serving other people is the purpose of our life. I have joined many volunteering activities such as teaching children who live in a poor and faraway village (see Fig. 1) and repairing bicycles for students on campus. I also went to the Service and Humanities Experience Camp hold by Service Science Society of Taiwan in 2013 (see Fig. 2). There I realized that the application of science, management, and engineering can provide value for others. Through serving others, we can get a chance to give back and make a difference. For example, we can employ the knowledge of Educational Robotics, Human-Robot Interaction, and Multimedia and Creative Technologies to teach those children and help them learn. And that's what I want to do in next several years.

Volunteer of Humanistic Education Foundation Summer Camp

    I participated in Humanistic Education Foundation Summer Camp and volunteered as a teacher and staff in 2005 to 2008. My job was to design teaching plans for primary school children. We helped them learn how to get along with other children and taught them how to build up a real house or how act in a play. We had a lot of fun and learned a lot from each other.






Biaxial Nano-scale Positioning System (Master Thesis @ NTU)

    In 2010, I participated in a research cooperation project “Design and development of positioning system of Atomic Force Microscopy” in Institute of Physics of Academia Sinica, the highest research institution in Taiwan, and worked on my thesis, “Design and Development of Biaxial Nano-scale Positioning System.”  I helped my group improve the previous actuator, and I developed a biaxial long-stroke and nanometer-scale positioning system controlled by a user-friendly interface on PC. (see Fig. 1)

Integration and Investigation of Metal Riveting Techniques (Research Project @ NTU)

    After I finished my ungraduated study and got my BS degree, I chose to study for my master degree of mechanical engineering and joined Precision Engineering Laboratory led by Prof. Kuang-Yuh Huang, where we worked on research projects and my master thesis. In 2009, we started a university-industry research cooperation plan with Foxconn Electronics Inc., “Integration and Investigation of Metal Riveting Techniques.” We provided precise FEA simulation and experiment results and helped Foxconn derive the performance of fastening rivets and lower the cost of its sever products. (see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2)

Medicine Dispensing Machine (Automatic Machine Design @ NTU)

    I attended National Taiwan University, the most prestigious college in Taiwan, and achieved sufficiently well performance in the department of mechanical engineering.  I did well in academic courses such as Machine Design Theory, Automatic Control and Application of CAD System and business-technology classes like Computer Programming Language, Accounting for management, and International Economics Principle during my college years.  Also, I took courses which require a lot of hands-on practice and group work.

    In the class of Automatic Machine Design in 2008, my group successfully developed a medicine dispensing machine controlled by Programmable Logic Controller (see Fig. 1 & Fig. 2), got the highest score in the class, and demonstrated abilities of mechanical design and automation control in undergraduate study.
