Education and Professional Qualifications
Received a B.S. (1992) and M.S. (1999) in Environmental Science from Tunghai University, an LL.M. in Technology Law from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (2013), and a Ph.D. in Environmental Engineering (2024). Expertise integrates environmental engineering, semiconductor manufacturing, and legal studies. Obtained the Professional Engineer (Environmental Engineering) license in 1995 and was certified as a civil service officer by the Ministry of Examination and the Ministry of Civil Service in 1998.
Industry and Government Experience
At Winbond Electronics (1996-1998), participated in the technology transfer, construction, and operation of a water treatment system for an 8-inch wafer fab in the 64M DRAM project, in collaboration with Toshiba. At Hsinchu Science Park Bureau (1998-2000), I was responsible for environmental administration, EIA review, commissioned research, and factory inspections. At Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (2000-2007), contributed to establishing and operating the Environmental, Safety, and Health (ESH) and Emergency Response (ER) management systems for the corporate headquarters (Morris Chang Building) and the company’s first 12-inch wafer fab. Since 2007, founded and managed Jason Environmental Professional Office, providing permitting, certification, and consulting services for science park manufacturers (e.g., TSMC, Qualcomm), accumulating more than 25 years of professional experience in the semiconductor and environmental engineering sectors.
Academic and Research Experience
Since 2015, served as Adjunct Lecturer at National University of Kaohsiung, later as Industry Mentor (since 2016), and Adjunct Assistant Professor-level Specialist (2020, 2022), teaching Environmental Law and Regulation Practice and Engineering Project Implementation. Twice received the “Excellent Course Award” (2015, 2022). Research involvement includes drafting and executing National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) projects, such as:
Recovery and reuse of cobalt from semiconductor wastewater using FeAl composites
(109-2221-E-390-007-MY3, 2020-2023),
Decomposition of PFAS-containing semiconductor wastewater using FeAl composites
(112-2221-E-390-002-MY3, 2023-2026).

Doctoral Research and Technical Contributions
Doctoral research established the FeAl-DMSO catalytic system, a novel technology for treating semiconductor wastewater. This system not only enables rapid and effective degradation of PFOA but also valorizes the released carbon dioxide into alcohols and methoxy ethers, demonstrating pollution-to-energy potential. By incorporating recycled aluminum into the synthesis of FeAl, this work further advances a circular economy paradigm that integrates resource recovery, pollution control, and energy conversion.
