Master’s students
Yu-Han Wu
Yu-Han is a second-year master student. He graduated from NCYU. He had participated in the project on gene regulation of color in rice husk. Currently he is working on projects related to image analysis about leaf overlapping.
Szu-Ting Tan
Szu-ting is a first-year student majored in Agronomy. She is passionate about biostatistics and data analysis. Currently working on a new project about maximum likelihood estimator and mixture models.
Undergraduate students
Shawn Chen
Shawn is a senior student. He always sits in front of the computer, seeming like the chair and keyboard have trapped him. If you see him stuck in some trouble, don’t worry; he’s doing it voluntarily.
Kayleen Howen
An Indonesian junior student currently studying agronomy at National Taiwan University. Eager to learn but procastinates too much somtimes.
Jun-Yan Lai
Jun Yan is a student in the Department of Agronomy at National Taiwan University. Currently, he is studying biological information and related computer skills such as statistics in the laboratory. He hopes to complete his bachelor’s thesis related to image recognition.
Rui-Ting Xie
Ruei-Ting is a junior student at National Taiwan University. He’s 22 and studying agronomy. The name on his passport was Ruei Ting Hsieh, but it seems like it’s too hard to remember or something, so it’s shown as Rui Ting Xie on the website (“Hsieh” is really hard to remember; he even spells it wrong himself sometimes). Now, he’s getting nearly killed by his bachelor’s thesis on protein sequences and organic chemistry class.
