About Me

Hi! Welcome to my page! I am a Ph.D. student candidate of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the UC Merced PANS Lab, advised by Dr. Shijia Pan. I have been working on deep learning, ubiquitous computing, and smart healthcare from day 1 of my Ph.D. journey. I have an interdisciplinarity backgropund: mechanical engineering, civil engineering and computer science, which motivates me to explore new and interesting interdisciplinarity problems.

Besides academic work, I am a big fan of skateboarding, hiking, body building and mountaineering.

Could you do me a favor?

I am super curious about what lead us meet at here. If you have time, could you brifly write what leads you here and send it to me by Contact Me (at the end of the page)? If you can breifly introduce yourself that will be even greater! Maybe a potential collabreation can start here :-D
