Chia-Heng has been a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering (CSIE) at National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) since 2025. Before joining NCKU CSIE in Aug. 2016, he worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at MEDIATEK-NTU Advanced Research Center, National Taiwan University (NTU) from 2015 to 2016, and as an R&D Manager at the Institute for Information Industry from 2012 to 2015, where he did his Research and Development Substitute Services after he completed his Ph.D. training from NTU in 2012. His research interests are developing tools (e.g., computer architecture simulators and performance analyzers/optimizers) for designing/optimizing specialized computer systems.

We focus on system software and computer architecture-related fields to tackle real-world problems for the designs and optimizations of computer systems, ranging from IoT devices to cloud systems. Examples include autonomous systems (robots for various applications and self-driving vehicles), smart transportation projects that utilize intelligent traffic signal controls within the vehicle-to-everything communication environment, software tools (compilers and simulators) for quantum computers.
