Hi, I’m a current Ph.D. candidate at AIoT Lab, The University of Hong Kong (HKU), supervised by Prof. Chenshu Wu. I began my Ph.D. journey in Fall 2021, after receiving my B.E. degree in Computer Science from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT).

My research interests center on Wireless Sensing and AIoT, with a specific focus on making Wi-Fi sensing more ubiquitous and robust. I am currently working on boosting the sensing capabilities of Wi-Fi via deep learning, metamaterials, and multi-modal fusion to enable transformative applications in smart IoT sensing, AI for Health, and Low-Altitude Economy (e.g., drone-based sensing). My goal is to bridge the gap between theoretical wireless signals and practical, life-enhancing applications.

Teaching Experience

• Year 2021-2024. Operating System (COMP3230A). Professor: Prof. Chenshu Wu
  I maintained and curated HKU COMP3230’s tutorial labs from 2021 to 2024 (Repo). I built hands-on tutorials and mini-labs on C basics, signals, virtual memory, processes, Pthreads, and semaphores, turning theory into “it finally works!” moments.
  
  Now I’m proudly passing the torch to LLMs. May they grade fairly, debug patiently, and may their segmentation never fault. Thanks, Mr. Gs (GPT, Gemini, Grok, and Claude)!
