I am a Master's student in Computer Science at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU), advised by Prof. Yi-Ting Chen. My research focuses on autonomous driving safety and validation, with particular interests in data-efficient, controllable, and realistic simulation of heterogeneous traffic, as well as multimodal driving intelligence.

I was a visiting researcher at the MSC Lab, University of California, Berkeley, working with Prof. Masayoshi Tomizuka. My recent work includes publications at ECCV 2026 and ICRA 2026, along with top placements in the CVPR 2026 doScenes Instructed Driving Challenge.

I am seeking Fall 2027 PhD opportunities and am open to research collaborations.
