I was born and grew up in Taipei, Taiwan. I graduated from College of Law, National Taipei University (former National Chung-Hsin University). After working as a Taiwanese　government official (Executive Yuan), I studied at Graduate School of Law, Nagoya University (major: Administrative Law). I received my Juris Doctor in March 1997, and worked as an assistant at School of Law, Nagoya University until July 1997.After that, I returned to Taiwan and worked an assistant professor at Tamkang University (Department of Public Administration) and Soochow University School of Law. In April 2008, I moved to a university in Osaka Prefecture. I moved again to the College of Policy Science in April 2015.

The following videos explain the advantages of studying at the Graduate School of Policy Science and disciplines in which I can offer guidance.

Regarding my research, the direction of my research has changed dramatically depending on the university I belong to. When I was a student and assistant at Nagoya University Graduate School, I focused on public law in the U.S. (theory of judicial review and standing doctrine in particular), summarized the results of these research as my doctoral dissertation (title: “THE GENERATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE STANDING DOCTRINE IN ADMINISTRATIVE LITIGATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”)

When I worked at Taiwanese university, I focused on administrative procedures, administrative remedies, relationship between the national government and local governments, allocation of affairs, and autonomous legislative power etc., and I summarized “MODERN NATIONS AND ADMINISTRATIVE LAW”, “THEORY OF LOCAL AUTONOMY LAW “(two single-authored volumes, 2003) and “LOCAL AUTONOMY LAW “(a single-author textbook, partly including some thesis, 2009) in Taiwan.

After I started to work in Japan, I focuses on comparative research on administrative law between Japan and Taiwan, including the comparison between Japan and Taiwan regarding individual issues in administrative law. Also, I explore the basic principles of administrative law in East Asia and have compiled a book entitled "THE GENERATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF ADMINISTRATIVE LAW IN EAST ASIA: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF BASIC PRINCIPLES AND A TRIALOGUE OF COMMON PRINCIPLES” (edited and written in 2021). Also, based on my experience in Taiwan, I am making legal policy recommendations for a code to ensure the effectiveness of Japanese administrative activities.

In addition, because I collaborate with some constitutional law researchers, I expand the scope of my research to Taiwanese constitutional history, judiciary, constitutional review, and response to the Covid-19 pandemic. I am also conducting research on the same-sex marriage law in Taiwan, which is attracted by much public attention.

Regarding education, I speak Japanese, Chinese, Taiwanese, and English based on my working experience in Taiwan and Japan as mentioned above. I run classes for international undergraduate students in addition to classes for Japanese students on administrative law. I have actively accepted foreign students at the Graduate School.
