About Me

I am a PhD candidate at College of Information and Computer Sciences, University of Massachusetts Amherst under the supervision of Prof. Jie Xiong. I also work closely with Prof. Deepak Ganesan. My research is supported by Google PhD Fellowship.

I am on the academic job market this year.

I'm currently pursuing new promissing innovative work in wireless sensing with an emphasis on new theories and applications.
