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), advised by Prof. Wenyao Xu. 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.
