I have a Ph.D. from the Dept. of Civil Engineering-Arch. at Chung Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, a M. Arch. From the Dept. of Architecture & Urban Planning at Chung Hua University, Hsinchu/Taiwan, and a B.Arch. from the Department of Architecture at Chung Yuan Christian University, Taoyuan, Taiwan. I have been working as a designer for almost 20 years. In addition, I have a passion for the education for interior design and architecture.

With the community influence in the design field, I have always tried to pass on the professional influence in the field of education.
