About Me
I’m a first-year Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Michigan, advised by Pei Zhang. My research focuses on developing multimodal sensing networks and intelligent systems for environmental monitoring and smart communities, including vehicular environmental monitoring and virus detection. I also serve as the ACM XRDS Magazine Labz Editor – email me to feature your research!
