Kuo-Ting Tsai

Assistant Professor
Because of long-term interdisciplinary researches, I not just have background knowledge in Physics but also developed skills in Data Science (over 6-year experience), Data Analytics (over 6-year experience), and Data Engineering (over 2-year experience) to solve problems. To cooperate with people from different fields from academies and industries, I sharpened my abilities in project management, pipeline management, teamwork, communication. These experiences help me to adapt fast and keep learning all the time.
