I am a Research Scientist at NVIDIA Research, working on Embodied AI.
My research focuses on reasoning-enhanced vision-language-action models that enable robots to reason about tasks and environments and translate that reasoning into effective actions in the physical world.
Before joining NVIDIA as a Research Scientist, I received my Ph.D. from National Taiwan University (NTU) in January 2026, advised by Prof. Yu-Chiang Frank Wang. I also earned my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Information Engineering (CSIE) from NTU in 2022 and worked as an Applied Scientist Intern at Microsoft, developing deep learning models for Bing Maps.
