About
I am a 1st year PhD student at University of Washington Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, advised by Prof. Vikram Iyer and Prof. Shwetak Patel.
My research focuses on deploying ubiquitous sustainable computational things to environments. My research interests are highly interdisciplinary, combining sustainable material, electronic devices, energy harvesting-enabled embedded systems, ubiquitous computing, and human-computer interaction.
Prior to joining Allen School, I did my M.S. in Quantitative & Computational Finance and received my B.S. in Computer Engineering with highest honors from Georgia Institute of Technology,
where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Thad Starner and Prof. Gregory Abowd at Georgia Tech Ubicomp Lab.
Some of my other interests include travelling, reading, and soccer. I was named the city's best midfielder of the 2018 high school soccer season when I was an exchange student at a high school in Texas, and was elected to the 2017 all-province middle school soccer team when I was in middle school in China.
