I am a first-year phd student in Columbia University, advised by Prof. Fred Jiang. I obtained my M.E. degree from Control Science and Engineering College, Zhejiang University in 2024, advised by Prof. Chaojie Gu and Prof. Shibo He. I also work with Prof. Rui Tan, Nanyang Technological University. I received my B.E. degree from Control Science and Engineering College, Zhejiang University in 2021.
My research interests are centered around mobile computing and AIoT (AI + IoT), with a primary focus on developing intelligent sensing systems for practical applications. Recently, I have been working on integrating LLMs into sensing systems to effectively exploit the potential of sensing systems and real-world sensor data.
