๐Ÿงโ€โ™‚๏ธ Biography

Hello, My name is Yu-Fan (Van) Lin. I am a masterโ€™s student with the Advanced Computer Vision Laboratory (ACVLAB) at the Institute of Data Science, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan. I actively participate in various competitions and research projects as part of the ACVLAB team.

Previously, I earned my bachelorโ€™s degree from the Department of Applied Mathematics at National Chung Hsing University (NCHU), where I engaged in multiple projects during my undergraduate studies. You can find my resume here (last updated June 22, 2025).

My primary research interests include:

  • Multimodal Learning
  • Image/Video Processing

I am also enthusiastic about exploring other cutting-edge fields in artificial intelligence and data science. I actively seek opportunities for collaborationโ€”letโ€™s connect and share ideas to push boundaries together!
