I received my Ph.D. in Robotics from the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University in 2005 under the supervision of Prof. Yanxi Liu. My research interests include computer graphics, computer vision, and robotics. I joined the College of Computer Science at NCTU in spring of 2006. I am looking for graduate students who are interested in graphics or vision areas.

Past Projects

	Dynamic near-regular texture tracking and manipulation
	Near-regular texture synthesis
	Physics-based walking animation
	Bimodal speech recognition
