⛪ About me

I am a PhD candidate in MetaIoT Lab at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) under the supervision of Prof. Wei Wang. I collaborate closely with Prof. Jie Xiong and Prof. Lili Qiu at Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) on GPS sensing.

My research interests include backscatter networking and wireless sensing.
