I am a Ph.D. candidate at ShanghaiTech University, advised by Prof. Zhice Yang. Previously, I trained at the Shanghai Advanced Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences (2019–2022) and received my B.S. from North University of 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.
