Brief bio: After obtaining my Master’s degree with chemical engineering, I had a chance to join a research project led by Dr. Kazue Kanehara at the Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology, Academia Sinica, which focused on the membrane lipid unsaturation in plant Endoplasmic Reticulum stress tolerance. Being fascinated by plant lipid research, I decided to pursue a Ph.D. education at the same institute with a plant lipid researcher Dr. Yuki Nakamura. My current research interest is the regulation of interconversion between diacylglycerol (DAG) and phosphatidic acid (PA) that governs the metabolic homeostasis of plant membrane glycerolipids for spatiotemporal control of plant growth and development.

自傳：在取得化學工程碩士學位後，有幸以研究助理的生身份加入中研院植微所金原和江老師的實驗室，研究高等植物的內質網中膜脂質的不飽和性。引起了我對植物脂質的興趣，因此決定在植微所內，專門研究脂質的中村友輝老師的指導下開啟了博士生涯。目前我的研究專注於如何藉由調節甘油二酯與磷脂酸之間的相互轉化，來操控植物體內的細胞膜中甘油脂的代謝平衡，進而達到控制植物的生長及發育。
