I am a Ph.D. student working with Prof. Robert C. Miller in User Interface Design Group (UID) at MIT CSAIL. My Ph.D. thesis focuses on enhancing web pages on desktop and mobile browsers for two populations: non-native English readers and mobile users. My research enhances web pages from three directions: readability, skimmability and mobile continuous reading support.

I earned my B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science and Information Engineering (CSIE) from Tamkang University in 1998 and from National Taiwan University in 2000, respectively. After finishing my master's degree on the topic of Digital Libraries and Museums, I worked as a team lead in the wireless industry for a few years and returned to school to pursue a further understanding in Web technologies at MIT CSAIL.
