Biography

  • Career Interests: since I have a combinational knowledge and experiences in business, computer science and artificial intelligence, I will be interested in exploring a route where I can take full advantage of this background. I am most interested in work in the areas of grid computing, knowledge management and business (process) modelling where AI techniques may contribute to, such techniques are, e.g., logical methods, enterprise modelling methods, CBR, learning and other techniques.
  • While I like to work in a team, I also enjoy taking responsibility for my own tasks. When I run a commercial project, work as a lecture, supervisor for MSc and PhD student projects, a tutor for University courses and as a teacher for Chinese school, I acquired and enhanced my communication and leadership skills. I am well-organised and can manage complicated problems efficiently, an asset which has been most useful whenever I needed to understand and handle novel problems and subjects. It has been particularly useful during my studies, which required me to manage the two very different disciplines of business and computing studies. I enjoy work that requires initiative and creativity. I embrace everyone involved with enthusiasm and am always committed to the work as much as possible in order to make a better contribution.
  • I grew up in Taiwan and lived in USA for 3 years. I have now lived in the UK for nearly 14 years. I have enjoyed myself and made friends during my stay in different countries. These international experiences have enabled myself to be an individual who is dynamic and can adapt to different environments quickly.
  • During my spare time, I enjoy gardening, travelling, swimming, jogging, playing badminton, film watching, reading and cooking.
