I am a Ph.D. student at Department of Computer Science in University of Maryland College Park, advised by Prof. Nirupam Roy. My research interests are Edge Computing, Spatial Signal Processing, Sensory Intelligence, Embedded Learning, and Power-aware Computing, especially applicating these techniques on healthcare and IoT. Before becoming a Ph.D. student at UMD, I graduated from WINLAB, Rutgers University and Stevens Institute of Technology with MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering. I got my BS in Dalian Maritime University.
