About

I envision sowing seeds for mindful, regenerative, and convivial ecologies by uncovering the common mechanisms underlying planetary harm and transforming systems from within. Since adolescence, I’ve committed to designing low-barrier, agent-based, and cooperative strategies that redirect societal trajectories—addressing wicked problems through “research and praxis as education.” To realize this, I’ve founded and led initiatives integrating complex systems thinking with grassroots empowerment. At Awakening Cooperative Lab, our work transformed scarcity-based competition (“Allocation Dependence”) into prosocial resource regeneration (“Learning by Caring”). This enabled marginalized youth to bypass traditional exams, enter top universities, win major awards (e.g., Taiwan Presidential Education Award), and lead impactful social-mission careers. Our “Reflexive Media” model empowered youth as active inquirers and communicators, further prototyped via national media partnerships including Taiwan National Education Radio and FutureFamily Magazine. As a systems connector and prototyping hub, I’ve held concurrent roles across organizations and countries to catalyze ecosystemic synergy. Highl
