I am a 2nd-Year Computer Engineering PhD Canadiate at Northeastern University, USA, where I am part of the SMILE Lab, under the guidance of IEEE Fellow Professor Yun Raymond Fu. I am also a Applied Scientist Intern @Amazon AWS AI Lab.

Prior to this, I obtained my M.Sc Degree at Zhejiang University(ZJU). At Tencent(腾讯), I worked as an research intern under the supervision of Gang Yu, in which I mainly worked on Generative Models for image and video. I was also a visiting student/remote intern at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for three months.

I am actively seeking for a research internship in 2024. Please feel free to contact me.

Several years ago, I delved into the fascinating world of sensor modalities and signal processing, sparking a keen interest in embedded platforms. That experience led me to explore further into artificial intelligence and computer vision.

Wheelchair Control System via analysis eye-blinking EMG and EEG

Provincial Grand Prize at the Challenge Cup Competition of Science Achievement in China
project video (in Chinese)
Mar. 2017

Proposed to detect eye blink EMG noise mixed in EEG signal, which uses the intense eye blink signal to control the direction of wheelchairs, while analysis EEG to predict tension and relaxation degree to control the speed of the wheelchair.

An affordable solution for paralyzed patients to control their wheelchairs and move independently.
