Jia-Ming Chang

Associate professor since 2022/02 Department of Computer Science, National Chengchi University Taipei, Taiwan

於清華大學資工系修讀學士與碩士學位，2002年清大畢業後，在中研院資訊所服國防役，2008 到西班牙巴塞隆納基因調控研究中心 (Centre for Genomic Regulation) 修讀博士學位，2013年到 法國蒙彼利埃人類基因體研究中心 (Institute of Human Genetics) 從事博士後研究，2016年開始到 政大資科系服務至今。

I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in the Dep. of Computer Science at National Tsing Hua University. After graduating from NTHU in 2002, I completed my military service at the Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica. In 2008, I pursued my Ph.D. at the Centre for Genomic Regulation in Barcelona, Spain, and in 2013, I conducted postdoctoral research at the Institute of Human Genetics in Montpellier, France. Since 2016, I have been serving in the Dep. of Computer Science at National Chengchi University.
