I am a final-year Ph.D. student of Manning College of Information and
Computer Sciences at
University of Massachusetts Amherst under the supervision of Prof. Jie Xiong. I
also work with Prof. Sunghoon Ivan Lee and
Prof. Jeremy Gummeson. I am broadly interested in
building novel wireless sensing systems using a variety of sensing modalities, including acoustics, Wi-Fi, mmWave, UWB, and RFID.
My research mainly includes localization and tracking, human-computer interaction, and health sensing.
I am on the academic job market this year.
