I am a second-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.

Volunteered at SmartSP at the University of Michigan-Dearborn on November 5–6. It was wonderful to meet my senior labmate Ce Zhou and our collaborator Yi Zhu, and I learned from the experience.
I passed the Qualifying Examination at Michigan State University.
Comment, Prof. Tu: "Your presentation was the most competitive presentation i ever listened in QE committee."
Honored to join the program committee for S&P 2027 Artifact Evaluation, Cycle 1.
My first-author MobiCom submission passed the first round. The latest review scores are 3, 3, 3, 2, 2; the paper is borderline, and I am concerned about its chances of acceptance.
Excited to be accepted to the Open Scholarship Fellowship 2026!
Unfortunately, my first-author NDSS 2027 submission was rejected, with reviewer concerns about the white-box attack setting and transferability experiments. The paper, GhostPrefix, is now available on arXiv.
Submitted a first-author survey paper to arXiv and hope it will be released soon.
