Currently, he is an IET Fellow (Institution of Engineering and Technology, 國際工程技術學會會士) and IEEE Senior member (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers).

He is committed to exploring the boundaries of next-generation ferroelectric memory devices and VLSI technologies by developing novel materials and innovative structures. He has published 65 SCI papers, several prestigious conference papers including IEDM and Symp. VLI Technology in the past 10 years (the 2nd highest-ranked team in Taiwan in terms of publishing papers in renowned IEEE Electron Device Letters). He also holds 42 patents (Taiwan, US, German, Korea, China) and has authored 1 book chapter. Furthermore, the students he mentored have won many national-wide research-based awards including “Technology Scholarship (中技社科技獎學金) ” from China Technical Consultants Inc. (CTCI) Foundation in consecutive 5 years (2018-2022), “Semiconductor Award (台灣半導體產業協會半導體獎)” from Taiwan Semiconductor Industry Association (TSIA) in 2019/2020/2023, “College Student Research Creativity Award (國科會大專學生研究創作獎)” from NSTC in 2019, “TSMC PhD student fellowship (台積電獎學金)” and “Scholarship for Outstanding PhD Students (國科會優秀博士生獎學金)” from NSTC (one of highest student scholarships provided by the government and industry in Taiwan), both in 2020.

In addition, he has held some administrative positions at Office of Academic Affairs in NTHU including Division Chief of Center for Teaching and Learning Development, Director of Chinese Language Center, Director of Center for Continuing Education during 2010-2016.
