Biography

I am a Master’s student in the School of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), advised by Prof. Hao Zhou.

During my master’s studies, I worked as a visiting research intern at the National Institute of Informatics (NII) in Tokyo for three months, advised by Prof. Yusheng Ji (IEEE Fellow).

Before starting my master’s degree, I received my bachelor’s degree from the School of Computer Science and Technology at Soochow University in June 2023.

My research interests include artificial intelligence and wireless sensing.
