I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at City University of Hong Kong, under the supervision of Prof. Yuguang "Michael" Fang. I received my Ph.D. degree from Hunan University, under the supervision of Prof. Hongbo Jiang and Prof. Kun Xie. From 2021 to 2022, I studied as a joint Ph.D. student at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. My research interests lie in the area of IoT system construction and security protection, mainly focusing on user identity authentication, privacy-preserving enabled wireless sensing, and multi-modal fusion-driven smart services. I have published papers in IEEE S&P, ACM Ubicomp/IMWUT, IEEE TMC, IEEE ICDCS, ACM ToSN, IEEE Communications Magazine, etc. I hope I can contribute my efforts to build an efficient and secure IoT framework, applying to smart city.
