About me

I am a fourth-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Information Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), advised by Prof. Henry He Chen and Prof. Tianfan Xue as part of the Wireless Networking and Sensing (WiNS) Group. My research focuses on developing wireless technologies for robotic platforms. This work aims to enhance robot operational capabilities and improve wireless sensing with greater coverage.

Prior to joining CUHK, I conducted research at the Intelligent Perception (IP) Lab at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), collaborating with Prof. Yan Chen to develop human-centric wireless sensing systems.

My work targeted performance and robustness improvements on wireless sensing, leading to innovations in following areas:

• Robotic Manipulation: Radar-camera fusion for transparent object grasping (TMC’25).
• Intelligent Sensing: IRS-aided indoor localization (TWC’25, TMC’24).
• Mobile Health: Contactless human speed estimation (IoTJ’21).
