About Me

I was born in 1960 during the golden baby booming age. I received my medical degree in the School of Medicine, National Defense Medical Center, Taipei, Taiwan in 1985. My major academic and research interests are neuroscience and neuroimaging, particularly involving studies on ischemic stroke, brain tumor, drug abuse, and dementia. My professional appointments are: The chair, Department of Medical Imaging, Taipei Medical University Hospital since 2013. I took the office of director of Imaging Research Center, Taipei Medical University in March 2014. I have served as an editorial board member of the American Journal of Neurology {AJNR) from 2001-2011. I was appointed the section editor, Classic Case, special consultant, AJNR in 2011. I was a member of the scientific program committee, RSNA from 2007-2012 and president elect, AOCNR,2018. My future plan is to build up an advanced imaging center equipped with high end scanners such as 7T animal MRI, 3T human MRI with 64 channel head coils and super high detector row CT center. The imaging cores will be incorporated with other basic science teams to probe neurological disease. My goal is to complete these platforms for translational neuroimaging in a great medical University and hospitals.
