I am a simulation engineer for the acoustic and vibroacoustic aspects of LEKO LABS. This job includes analytical model development, finite element analysis, project study, national regulation study, product development, market study, and software backend development. I successfully predicted the acoustic performance of our facade while comparing the result with the experiment. Also, its structure was partially designed by me. It shows that I have the ability to manage different aspects at the same time.

The topic of the PhD study was to understand the specific grain patterns for their effects on the physical, mechanical (dynamic), and hygro-mechanical aspects. During the study, I completed large-scale work on different disciplines and with many hardwood species. Also, I've done development for a torsional device aided by the finite element method, drawing the anisotropy effect on the shear modulus measurement.

In the master study, the finite element method was used for analyzing the mechanical and failure behaviours on the oriented strand board (OSB) while combining it with the analytical model for making a pre-processing analysis. This topic was on a microscopic scale (wood flake) to a macroscopic scale (self-made OSB). The mechanical and failure behaviour was also focused from the microscopic to the macroscopic.

I joined the School of Forestry and Environment at the National Taiwan University (2009) because I deeply believed that trees and wood will change our future. The department called "the School of Forestry and Environment" is actually a Japanese academic system. It includes four groups of study: Biology material, Forestry environment, Forestry biology, and Resource conversation. Under such a framework, I was able to acknowledge the four disciplines while specializing in biology material (mech).
