The focus includes tool proliferation, sustainable talent pipelines, and early technology exploration through academic research collaboration. 1. Championing AIoT Campus Initiatives to Support Customer Ecosystem Growth 1-1 Spearheaded deployment of AIoT education programs at leading universities, establishing joint labs and infrastructure that reached over 2,000 students. 1-2 Enabled over industry-aligned training modules, including AIoT Design Contests, hands-on workshops, and semester-long courses — directly seeding talent pipelines for Synopsys customers. 1-3 Coordinated internal R&D, marketing, and applications engineering teams to deliver fully integrated AIoT training kits (development boards, SDKs, project examples), enhancing customer solution adoption. 1-4 Engaged ecosystem partners (startups, academia) to support a scalable user community, driving creation of machine learning/AIoT use cases aligned with market needs. 2. Enabling EDA/IC Design Talent Development to Support Customer Design Success 2-1 Led deployment of Synopsys’ virtual training environment to help academic customers adopt advanced EDA tools, accelerating time-to-competency for future engineers. 2-2 Designed and hosted the multi-week virtual IC Design workshops, benefiting over 1000 EE/EECS students since 2021; curriculum spans Front-end Design, Physical Implementation, Verification, and DFT, equipping universities with Synopsys-standard workflows. 3. Supporting Collaborative Research & Industry-Academic Partnerships to Drive Technology Advancement 3-1 Actively facilitate university-industry research collaborations to accelerate innovation in EDA and IC design methodologies. 3-2 Partner with academic and professional societies to amplify Synopsys’ academic influence, foster thought leadership, and nurture early-stage research engagement through sponsored research and technical events.
Led national-level education policy implementation projects to align university curricula with industry talent demands and support the Ministry of Education’s workforce development goals. 1. Advised domestic universities on curriculum and assessment design, using a competency-based quality framework grounded in occupational standards defined by industry needs. 2. Conducted regular engagement with over 50 universities annually; collaborated with 12 key institutions on more than 20 research initiatives focused on learning outcomes and their relevance to industrial innovation and talent pipelines. 3. Designed and delivered lectures at an average of 10 workshops and symposiums per year, covering topics such as curriculum reform, education quality systems, and data-driven evaluation of academic impact. 4. Managed a project team of 4 members, ensuring timely delivery, quality assurance, and alignment with both short-term objectives and long-term strategic goals. 5. Strengthened key stakeholder relationships with the Ministry of Education, while expanding inter-ministerial collaboration with the Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Economic Affairs, and Ministry of Science and Technology to broaden policy impact and funding opportunities.
Led strategic planning, monitoring & evaluation (M&E), and performance management efforts across a portfolio of international development programs to enhance organizational effectiveness and policy impact. 1. Designed and implemented a corporate-wide Performance Measurement and M&E system to monitor approximately 40 international development projects annually. 2. Facilitated bilateral and multilateral collaborations with foreign governments and international organizations, supporting effective project execution and cross-border partnerships. 3. Assessed project outcomes and long-term impact across sectors including agriculture, public health, education, and ICT, using methodologies such as real-time evaluation, performance evaluation, and evaluability assessment. 4. Led on-site evaluation missions to partner countries (e.g., Haiti, El Salvador) to assess a five-year corporate policy, with findings directly informing and leading to a strategic policy revision. 5. Established a Results-Based Management (RBM) system, including the development of corporate vision and strategy, results frameworks with KPIs, and standardized procedures for project operations and monitoring. 6. Coordinated the preparation of rolling three-year budgets and work programs for submission and approval by the organization’s board of directors.
Advised domestic industries (retail, banking, Pharmaceutical...) on compensation, recruiting, overseas branch setup, company culture, and employee engagement. Completed a due diligence report on Taiwan’s retail industry and labor market for a multinational tech company, involving data analysis, interviews, and surveys with major luxury brands.
