Biography
I join Department of Computer Science, East China Normal University as Research Professor at September 2022. Previously, I was a Post-doc in HABits Lab at Northwestern University under the supervision of Nabil Alshurafa . I obtained my PhD of Computer Science and Engineering at the University at Buffalo in May, 2021, supervised by Zhanpeng Jin at the Cyber-Med Laboratory. I received the B.S degree in Microelectronics from the University of Electrical Science and Technology of China in 2012, and the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Stevens Institute of Technology in 2014.
My research area involves wireless sensing, human-computer-interaction, biometric-based user identity verification, IoT sensing and security，3D printing.
