Biography

I am a first-year Ph.D student at Michigan State University under the supervision of Prof. Qiben Yan. I received my B.Eng. degree with honors in Computer Science and Engineering from the prestigious Turing Class at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) in 2025, where I joined AIMs Lab and conducted research under the guidance of Prof. Jin Zhang and Prof. Renjie Zhao.

My overarching research interests lie in smart sensing, mobile computing, and IoT security, with a strong focus on enabling intelligent perception and secure interaction between the physical and digital worlds. My previous research has encompassed mmWave sensing and security, UWB-based localization, and security in autonomous driving. I am particularly interested in exploring how Physical AI can bridge perception, reasoning, and action to create autonomous, trustworthy, and context-aware intelligent systems.

The journey has only just begun, and I look forward to an interesting and fulfilling Ph.D. career ahead.
