BIO

I am a Senior Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the State University of New York at Buffalo (UB), co-advised by Prof. Wenyao Xu and Prof. Yaxiong Xie. Prior to my doctoral studies, I earned a master's degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) under the supervision of Prof. Bin Liu. Before that, I successfully obtained a bachelor's degree in Electronic Information Engineering from Hefei University of Technology (HFUT).

I specialize in wireless sensing for smart health, delving into innovative sensing technologies to accurately and reliably capture human biomarker information. Additionally, I am engaged in the realm of general RF-based object detection and tracking.
