I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Computer Science at the Florida State University. I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Xin Liu. My research focuses on wireless sensing and security, developing contact-free biometric systems for health monitoring and authentication. By combining signal processing and machine learning, I enable ubiqutious Wi-Fi devices to sense human vital signs and identities without cameras or wearables, extending wireless sensing from single-user to multi-user scenarios through spatial signal modeling.

Research Interests:
  • Wireless Sensing
  • Mobile Security and Privacy
  • AI/LLM-powered Mobile Systems
  • Integrated Sensing and Communication
News:
  • [Sep 2025] Our paper “2FiA: Towards WiFi Sensing-Based Authentication with Unique Biometrics” has been accepted by IEEE S&P 2026.
  • [Aug 2025] I received the Dean's Award for Doctoral Excellence (DADE) from the Florida State University College of Arts and Sciences.
  • [Jul 2024] Our paper “Spacebeat: Identity-aware multi-person vital signs monitoring using commodity wifi” has been accepted by IMWUT/UbiComp 2024.
