I received PhD from Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, University of Pennsylvania, USA. I am trained as a soft matter physicist. Afterwards, I performed the postdoctoral research at Dept. of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University. Upon joining Academia Sinica, I was intrigued that how cells sense the third-dimensionality is an open question. Gradually, I shift the research focus toward the biological physics. 

My lab is very interdisciplinary where we utilize tools from many disciplines such as advanced optical microscopy, molecular biology, physical modeling and material fabrication. My lab have the confocal microscope, cell culture room, simple micro-fabrication facility, and computer workstation loaded with high-end GPU card.
