About Me
I am a first-year Ph.D. student in University of California Santa Cruz, under the guidance of Prof. Chen Qian. My research works orbit around the Internet of Things and Edge Computing. Before studying in the United States, I had been living in China and got my Bachelor degree in Computer Science and Technology from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). My CV could be found here.

RESEARCH PROJECTS
Jan. 2019 - July. 2019
Adaptive Backscatter Communication Against Intermittent WiFi Transmission
Designed an adaptive Reed-Solomon coded backscatter system to protect the data transmission against the intermittent nature of the excitation signals in the ambient backscatter system to overcome low throughput in the backscatter communication system using WiFi signal due to the dynamic channel idle period.
May. 2018 - Jan. 2019
Coded-Backscatter Multiple Access
Proposed a coded-backscatter multiplexing access scheme for backscatter communications in order to meet the loose coupling and high capacity requirements to deploy the backscatter communication in dense and heterogeneous environments.
Feb. 2018 - May. 2018
Measurement of the Spatio-Frequency Property of OFDM Backscattering
Investigated the spatial-frequency property of the OFDM backscatter which takes the distance and the angle into account in different frequency bands.
