My Goals

1. Respect everyone. Grades of jobs and place do not matter. Ourself matter.
2. Work optimistically. Things will work out.
3. Be patient. Don't become disappointed when things don't work out exactly as planned.
4. Be persistent. Keep working even when things get difficult. Push through the tough time.
5. Refine myself. Stop comparing myself to others.

Research

My research interests are in pattern recognition and image processing. I am especially interested in recognizing visual objects with their structure. Also structural data, such as chemical compounds, is my research target.
