Overview
I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the research group led by Prof. Qian Zhang at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST).
Previously, I obtained my Ph.D. degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2025, under the supervision of Prof. Wei Wang in the MetaIoT Lab.
My research interests primarily lie in Backscatter Networking, Wireless Sensing, and Low-Power IoT Systems. I am dedicated to pushing the boundaries of ultra-low-power communication and pervasive sensing technologies. My works have been published in top-tier conferences including MobiCom, SenSys, and UbiComp.
