I am a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Information Science and Technology at ShanghaiTech University in Shanghai, China, supervised by Prof. Zhice Yang. I was admitted to the Ph.D. program after completing my master’s training at the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences (2019–2022), where I worked with Prof. Jiangming Wei and was mentored by Dr. Xiaoyuan Ma. I received my bachelor’s degree from the School of Information and Communication Engineering, North University of China, in Taiyuan, Shanxi, China, in 2018.

🔴 I am currently on the job market for postdoctoral positions!

Research Interests

My research primarily focuses on LiDAR-centric perception and the security and privacy of autonomous driving systems. Previously, I worked on wireless network coexistence, heterogeneous networking, and cross-technology communication to enable robust connectivity for embedded devices.
