I’m a second year PhD candidate supervised by Assistant Prof. Dong MA at the School of Computing and Information System, Singapore Management University. I received my bachelor and master degree at Beijing Institute of Technology supervised by Associate professor Ronggang Cao from 2015-2019 and 2019-2022 respectively. My research interests consist of mobile computing and pervasive sensing, especially the embedded machine learning(TinyML) which enable deep learning models on the resource-constraint embedded devices.
