About Me

I am an AI Engineer at TSMC and earned my Ph.D. from the IDEA Lab in the Department of Computer Science at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU). My research centers at the intersection of Agentic AI Reasoning, Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Affective Computing.

Throughout my career, I have investigated human-centered behavioral patterns in natural text and speech, uncovering latent structure in social media expressions, emotional state dynamics, mental health identification, and news credibility. Recently, my work expands into shared-context agentic graph reasoning for multi-agent scientific question answering (collaborated with MIT), auto-summarization, and intelligent semiconductor engineering assistants.
