Biography

Before joining MERL, he was a Research Scientist (2016-2018) and Staff Scientist (2019) at Siemens Corporate Technology. His PhD research focuses on solving abstract tasks in computer vision using convolutional neural networks. In addition to his PhD, he received a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and an MS degree in Computer Science and Information Engineering from National Taiwan University in 2009 and 2012 respectively. His research interests include incremental learning, developing practical solutions given biased or scarce data, and fundamental computer vision and machine learning problems.
