about me.
Hello, I’m Chia-Hao. (or Joe if you like)
I’m currently a researcher at the University of Brescia in Italy. I earned my Master’s degree in Multimedia Engineering from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University in Taiwan, where I had the privilege of working with Prof. Wen-Hsiao Peng, as a member of the MAPL Lab.
When I’m not in front of a screen, I love to unwind with a good audiobook while exploring nature on hikes or long walks. I’m also a passionate home cook and baker, always eager to try new recipes :)
