I'm an assistant research fellow at the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Academia Sinica (ASIAA), and a long-term scientific associate at the Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU), the University of Tokyo, working on extragalactic astrophysics, with emphasis on galaxy formation and evolution, and clusters of galaxies.
I got my B.Sc. in physics from National Taiwan University in '99. After that I went to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for graduate school, working with Prof. Joe Mohr on various topics related to clusters of galaxies. I obtained my Ph.D. in astronomy in Aug '05, and was awarded a Princeton-Católica fellowship ('05-'08), with Prof. David Spergel being my advisor. I first spent 6 months in the Department of Astrophysical Sciences in Princeton University, then moved to Santiago, Chile, working in the Departamento de Astronomía y Astrofísica, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, for one year, and returned and stayed in Princeton until Oct '08. While in Princeton, I worked on projects related to the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT), and collaborated with Profs. Michael Strauss and Jerry Ostriker.
At IPMU, I work on surveys with the HyperSuprimeCam and the Prime Focus Spectrograph to be built for the Subaru Telescope.
