I am familiar with superconducting devices and microwave engineering. I have been working on heterodyne receivers using superconducting devices, like HEBs and SIS mixers. I am also working on backend signal processing of radio interferometers since I joined the institute. For back end signal processing, I constructed the analog correlator for AMiBA, and applied the digital sideband separation technique to YTLA for CO intensity mapping experiment. For wSMA, I developed a metal mesh IR filter to reduce thermal load on the cryostat. I also worked on a diplexer using superconducting thin films to make use of the IF below 4 GHz for wideband observations. For GLT, I designed relay optics for multi dewar configuration. I am also developing superconducting parametric amplifiers for quantum computing. Recently, I have been involved in the BURSTT project for FRB detection. The tasks include front end design and deployment. In general, I am interested in instrumentation and technology development, as well as the physics that people plan to discover.

BURSTT (Bustling Universe Radio Survey Telescope in Taiwan), a project led by ASIAA, equips with a large field-of-view and VLBI capacity to localize nearby FRBs within their hosts. Astronomers could unveil the local environment of FRBs through multi wavelength follow-up observations. In addition, the large FoV of BURSTT would be the key to monitor known FRBs with high cadence, and thus BURSTT would be the critical telescope to answer the open question– “Do all FRBs repeat or not?‘’. BURSTT would be composed of one main station with 256 antennas in Northern Taiwan as well as other outrigger stations around Taiwan and overseas. The baseline of the VLBI would be around 100 km, which yields an arcsecond resolution.
