I am a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department of International Business at National Taiwan University (NTU). My research focuses on technological legitimacy, technology management, and innovation and entrepreneurship, examining how emerging technologies gain acceptance, credibility, and scale within institutional, market, and organizational environments.
Trained across finance, strategy, international business, and Chinese literature, I bring an interdisciplinary perspective that integrates analytical rigor with attention to narratives and meaning. This background allows me to study technological phenomena not only as strategic or economic outcomes, but also as socially embedded processes shaped by discourse, signaling, and institutional context.
Since 2023, I have served as a Doctoral Research Assistant at NTU, contributing to projects on emerging technologies, firm strategy, and nonmarket environments. My research experience includes qualitative coding, quantitative and archival data analysis, case development, and academic writing.
In parallel, I have worked as a Teaching Assistant for MBA and EMBA courses in strategic management and global brand management, strengthening my ability to communicate complex ideas and connect theory with managerial practice.
My academic training has been supported by competitive fellowships and scholarships, including the MOE Ph.D. Scholarship (2024–2025), the NTU Chin Hsueh Scholarship, and the Rotary Academic Scholarship.
Beyond academia, I engage in iOS application design, independently developing consumer-facing applications that translate research insights into practical tools. I position myself as a researcher who bridges theory and application, moving between academic inquiry and real-world implementation.
Beyond academic research and enterprise experience, I actively explore product development and app design. These side projects reflect my identity as a cross-disciplinary creator, combining strategic thinking, UX design, and hands-on SwiftUI implementation.
More app development projects and brief introductions are available on my dedicated app portfolio page.
