More About Me
Before joining TW’s lab, I worked as a full-time research assistant at the Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, under the supervision of Prof. Bo-Yin Yang, Prof. Daniel J. Bernstein, and Prof. Tanja Lange, studying assembly-optimized implementations in lattice-based post-quantum systems and implementing a library for big integer multiplication on GPU by employing number-theoretic transformations algorithm. I pursued my M.S. degree, instructed by Prof. Shih-Hao Hung. I worked on two notable projects, including enhancing quantum circuit simulation and analysis utilizing non-volatile memories and accelerating simulated quantum annealing by leveraging GPU and tensor cores.
I am passionate about solving Sudoku. I often watch videos on YouTube presenting different problem-solving skills by professional individuals.
