About

I work at P-Waver Inc, a company working in the field of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Earthquake Early Warning System (EEWS). Before P-Waver, I was a master's student at the Dept. of Civil and Construction Engineering NTUST, TW under the supervision of Professor Pei-Ching Chen. I earned my bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from UK Petra, ID. I code occasionally and am experienced in Python, MATLAB, and Go. I'm also passable in the C-family of languages. Previously I worked in the mining and forestry industry.

My academic and personal interests are in the fields of Artificial Intelligence and Computer Simulation. Just as machines augment the power of human muscle, computers have the power to augment the power of the human brain. Human muscle is limited by the laws of physics, while the power of the human brain is limited only by imagination. Combining the power of the human brain with the multiplicative power of computers would allow mankind to advance its civilization to a higher level.

Aside from AI and Comp-Sim, I am also interested in the field of Service-Learning and Uncertainty Quantification.

25 Rules for Adult Behavior

John Perry Barlow (1947-2018)
    1. Be patient. No matter what.
    2. Don't badmouth: Assign responsibility, not blame. Say nothing of another you wouldn't say to him.
    3. Never assume the motives of others are, to them, less noble than yours are to you.
    4. Expand your sense of the possible.
    5. Don't trouble yourself with matters you truly cannot change.
    6. Expect no more of anyone than you can deliver yourself.
    7. Tolerate ambiguity.
    8. Laugh at yourself frequently.
    9. Concern yourself with what is right rather than who is right.
    10. Never forget that, no matter how certain, you might be wrong.
    11. Give up blood sports.
    12. Remember that your life belongs to others as well. Don't risk it frivolously.
    13. Never lie to anyone for any reason. (Lies of omission are sometimes exempt.)
    14. Learn the needs of those around you and respect them.
    15. Avoid the pursuit of happiness. Seek to define your mission and pursue that.
    16. Reduce your use of the first personal pronoun.
    17. Praise at least as often as you disparage.
    18. Admit your errors freely and soon.
    19. Become less suspicious of joy.
    20. Understand humility.
    21. Remember that love forgives everything.
    22. Foster dignity.
    23. Live memorably.
    24. Love yourself.
    25. Endure.
