I have completed my master’s degree at SCI-Arc on September 13th, 2020. In SCI-Arc, I focused on advanced studies in parametric architecture and implementation of design software, while researching digital-based design methods, in order to improve the acquisition of expertise in architectural design.
I finished my bachelor’s degree at Ming Chung University, Taiwan 2017, where I learned basic architectural knowledge and design skills. I worked and studied at an educational community -Design Make Organization from 2016 summer to 2017, as an assistant researcher for design technology and material fabrication. In the summer of 2019, I interned at Ferrier Architecture Studio, Los Angeles, California until the winter of 2019, where I advanced BIM designing skills and practical experiences.
