WHILE IN COLLEGE, not only did I keep on studying mechanical engineering, I dedicated myself to expanding my knowledge of business and building soft skills for effective communication and team building. During those days, I also gained my understanding of the solar energy industry through my internship at a solar energy company and private research (I went to the local county in Pingtung for close understanding).

DURING MY COLLEGE DROPOUT YEAR, I served my military service and went on to open up a business providing Internet marketing service for clients. The business has helped me lay a fundamental understanding of online marketing. I  managed projects including package design, website design, social media content production, Facebook advertisement, image film production, product photography, chatbot production, fundraising proposal, etc.

AFTER MY COLLEGE RESUMPTION, not only did I pour myself into studying the government BOT projects, technical paper, and patent file in the geothermal energy industry, I started meeting the CFO at a geothermal energy consulting company, a geology professor at NTU, a researcher working in SINOTECH ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LTD, an investor in land development of Hualien, and visiting small size power plant developed by Hanpower Energy Technology for gaining more understanding of the geothermal energy industry. In the process, I also study engineering fundamentals such as heat transfer, turbomachinery, electric machinery,  control system, and so on to gain more understanding of the overall engineering aspect of geothermal energy. I really hope to help achieve 100% renewable energy for Taiwan and the world.

In the late study on geothermal energy, I truly believe that by connecting the electric grid with more geothermal energy power plants, we could possibly accelerate 100% renewable energy in Taiwan and in the world effectively.

大學階段，我除了不斷充實對於機械領域的認知，更積極拓展對於商業領域的認知，並不斷建立業務溝通、團隊組建等軟實力。期間，我對台灣的太陽能產業也透過實習以及私下研究（前往屏東認識養水種電的專案），開始有一定的認識。

休學期間，除了服完兵役，更開設了公司提供網路行銷的服務給客戶。這奠定了我對於網路行銷的完整認知。專案內容包含：包裝設計、網站設計、社群內容製作、廣告投放、形象影片製作、商品拍攝、聊天機器人製作、募資提案計畫等等。

復學後，我除了開始鑽研地熱能源領域的BOT專案報告、技術論文以及專利發表，也透過和地熱顧問公司財務長、台大地質學教授、中興工程研究社研究員、花東土地開發投資人、漢力公司知本溫泉發電設施等實際參訪和會晤，累積對於地熱能源領域的認識。過程中，我也透過累積專業工程知識：熱傳學、渦輪機、電動機械、控制系統等等，進一步增加對整體工程的了解。期待有一天能推動台灣甚至世界100%再生能源的推動。

最後，我相信『地熱能源』能夠因為有效銜接既有電網，有效加速再生能源在台灣以及世界的發展。
