About me

I am a first-year CS PhD student at the University of Sydney, supervised by Prof. Eduardo Velloso. Prior to that, I worked as Research Assistant at CityUHK with Prof. Weitao Xu and Prof. Shengdong Zhao. I obtained M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from UCLA and B.Eng. in Automation from Tongji University.

My research interests lie in the intersection of HCI, ubiquitous computing and AR/VR, with a particular focus on enhancing human natural interaction capabilities through innovative wearable technologies. Outside the lab, I enjoy Chinese calligraphy and watching soccer matches.
