About

I'm a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Engineering at the University of Virginia, advised by Prof. Kun Qian. My research lies in backscatter communication, wireless sensing, and mobile computing— building low-power systems that let everyday devices sense and communicate. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to chat or collaborate.
