I am currently a fourth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at National Tsing Hua University , jointly supervised by Prof. Lun-Wei Ku and Prof. Wei-Kuan Shih . My research interests lie broadly in Natural Language Processing, particularly explanation generation, fake news debunking, and multi-document summarization.

I was also a visiting student intern at the iSchool, University of Washington , advised by Prof. Lucy Lu Wang .

My current research focuses on evaluating human evaluation pipelines in NLP papers and human–AI collaboration in explanation generation. Before my Ph.D. studies, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from National Tsing Hua University, where I conducted undergraduate research with Prof. Yuan-Hao Chang on the optimization of non-volatile memory storage architectures.
