About me
I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. degree at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), under supervision of Prof. Qian Zhang, starting from September, 2022. I received my MEng degree in 2022 from the School of Software and BNRist, Tsinghua University, under supervision of Prof. Xuan Ding and Prof. Zheng Yang. I was also very fortunate to work with Prof. Chunhui Duan (Postdoc@Tsinghua, now Associate Professor@BIT). Before that, I received my BEng degree in 2019 from Zhejiang University of Technology, under supervision of Prof. Kaikai Chi.
Research
I am pursuing the combination of theoretical modeling and system implementation to push forward the development of IoT applications. My research interests include
AIoT: Multimodal Large Model for Real-world Industrial Systems, etc currently working on
Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing: Low-cost Spectroscopy/HSI based Food Quality Detection [MobiCom24] MeatSpec, Domain Generalization for Mobile Applications [UbiComp25] MobHAR, etc
