Hi, this is Jung-Chun Liu 劉容均 (/li:'oʊ rɔŋ 'dʒyʊn/), or you can just call me Joan. I am a first-year CSE Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan advised by Joyce Chai. I visited Computational Cognitive Science Lab working with Jiayuan Mao in 2024.

Previously, I was a research assistant working with Professor Shao-Hua Sun at NTU Robot Learning Lab. I received my master degree from National Taiwan University, where I was advised by Professor Tian-Li Yu at Taiwan Evolutionary Intelligence Laboratory. I received my B.S. degree with double majors in Electrical Engineering and Psychology from National Taiwan University in 2021.

• I prefer using my original name, Jung-Chun, though it's actually pronounced Róng-jūn in Mandarin. You can pronounce it as Jūn-Chūn or however feels natural. Or just call me Joan if that's easier.
• I was born in Tainan, a city rich in history, culture, and amazing food in Taiwan.
• I enjoy listening to music. I particularly love Taiwanese indie and band music. Check out some of my favorite artists here.
• I love reading novels and literature. One of my favorite books is Ki-ken (キケン) by Arikawa Hiro (有川浩). The book and author that has influenced me the most are Fang Si-Chi's First Love Paradise (房思琪的初戀樂園) by Yi-Han Lin (林奕含).
• I want to live as a whole person. Being a researcher is part of me, but not all of me. Outside of research, I enjoy badminton, drawing/digital art, and photography to make life more colorful.
