About Me

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student at College of Information and Computer Sciences, University of Massachusetts Amherst under the supervision of Prof. Jie Xiong. I also work with Prof. Deepak Ganesan. My research is supported by Google Ph.D. Fellowship.

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