Welcome! I am a senior undergraduate in Computer Science at Michigan State University (MSU) where I have had the wonderful opportunity to be advised by Dr. Zhichao Cao in Edge Intelligence and Networking (EIN) group. I also have some collaboration with Dr. Mi Zhang at OSU AIoT.
I also have a chance to work with Dr. Qiben Yan in SEcure and Intelligent Things (SEIT) Lab. In Summer 2025, I interned with Dr. Chunyi Peng at Purdue Mobile System, Security and Networking (MSSN) Group.
Besides, I am also fortunate to work with many talented researchers and mentors: Yidong Ren (Qualcomm), Ce Zhou (Missouri S&T), and Yimeng Liu (MSU). They have guided me to become an independent researcher.
My research interests span AIoT (AI + IoT), AI for wireless communication and sensing, and AI security in autonomous driving. Currently, I am working on UWB/mmWave radar imaging with AI-driven reconstruction methods and exploring the robustness of AI and vision-language models (VLMs) in autonomous driving scenarios.
News
- I am actively seeking Ph.D. opportunities starting in Fall 2026, with the focus on applied ML for mobile systems, LLM/VLM for CPS, and related security problems
