2017 My Mini Field Study
I launched the project, a six-month plan encouraging students to discuss, interview and report on important social issues. I led twenty students to write on diverse topics including gender issues, minorities, and land and social justice. The reports were published on a well-known online media platform in Taiwan and were shared over 500 times on Facebook. In the end, the twenty students and I collaborated to hold a fantastic exhibition of reports, attracting more than 5,000 people to visit.
2016 NTU Forum:Learning How to Learn/Barbara Oakley
Dr. Barbara Oakley, Professor of Engineering at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. Her "Learning How to Learn" has been one of the most popular courses on Coursera, focusing on the complex relationship between neuroscience and social behavior. She came to give a speech in 2016, that attracted more than 400 attendees.

2015 - 2017 Student Study Group and Learning Project
I have Supervised 71 cases of student learning project, and coordinated study groups for 400 students across 14 schools. I was also the general coordinator of three orientation camps for disadvantaged students. It is really exciting to see students making an effort to achieve their goals.

2016 My New Learning Companies:Online Media
Digital learning has been a popular issue in recent years. We invited passionate YouTubers in Taiwan, RD English, Taiwan Bar,Pan Sci, and Story Studio, to share how to launch a YouTube chnannel and how to maintain its success.

Bicycle Touring
I am passionate about bicycle tourism, and it is the best way to travel the world. I have spent 11 days on a bicycle tour in my home country, 1100 KM on the island of Taiwan. The journey allowed me to see the life, people, culture and history of the island. I also know who I am through this journey.
Programming
I love history because it is logical, and I appreciate programming for the same reason. Programming is also a productive tool that allows me to create useful solutions to solve the problems I encounter and sometimes, if luckily, to help people.
Art History
I am a history graduate, and Art History is one of my favorite fields, especially Art History in Modern Europe. The history shows the deep connections between society, science, religion and culture which I find very attractive.
