About Me

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). Prior to this, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). I also worked as the AIoT scientist at BITS Pte. Ltd. (Singapore), a startup focused on intelligent IoT solutions. I received my Ph.D. in 2023 from the College of Computing and Data Science (CCDS), NTU, under the supervision of Professor Mo Li. Earlier, I earned my B.E. degree in 2017 from the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT). For more details, please refer to my CV.

My research focuses on intelligent localization and sensing using wireless signals. By leveraging ambient signals—including different types of radio (e.g., Wi-Fi, millimeter wave) and acoustic waves—I develop methods to perceive and interpret environmental dynamics. I investigate the evolution of IoT technologies, particularly Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and LoRaWAN, to address practical industrial demands, emphasizing robust network reliability and optimized Quality of Service (QoS).

Research Interests

• Wireless sensing: Vital signal monitoring, Activity and identity recognition
• IoT communication: High reliability, Enhanced capacity, Dynamic QoS
