🤗 About myself

I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering from Nanjing University, and I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I have published several papers with varying fields, you can refer to my Google Scholar, thanks for your interest!

Before coming to Georgia Tech, I collaborated with some nice guys and published some research papers in the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou), Penn State University, and Virginia Tech, seperately. I truly cherish these experiences, they are among the most unforgettable memories of my life, and I am deeply grateful to all the collaborators who shared those times with me.

My research interest includes:

• AI security & Trustworthy AI
• AI for Education
• human-computer interaction
• Medical image/signal processing
