🧑🏻‍💻   About me

I am a third-year computer science Ph.D. candidate at Center for Computational Biology, Johns Hopkins University. My advisors are Dr. Steven Salzberg and Dr. Mihaela Pertea. I received my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University (NTU). In my senior year of college, I went on exchange to study at the College of Engineering & Computer Science, Australian National University (ANU).

My primary research interest is designing ultra-fast algorithms for computational genomics, specifically targeting transcriptome (RNA sequencing), gene annotation and genome assembly. I am also a big fan of open source software. Check out my NEWS and GitHub page.
