I am an assistant professor of ECE at Virginia Tech.

More about myself: 

I'm originally from China, and in 2014, I decided to chase my Ph.D. dreams in sunny San Diego. After wrapping that up, I made my way to Cambridge, MA in 2020 to dive deeper into the world of postdoctoral research. My work? It's about CMOS-Nano Neuromorphic & Neural Interfaces  — all in an effort to bridge the gap between artificial intelligence and natural intelligence.

When I'm not geeking out on research, I'm all about staying active. Badminton's my game, and snagging the bronze in Men's Singles, Group D, at the 2022 Bay State Games was a thrill. Running's also been a big part of my life, especially after completing the Beijing marathon in 2013. And hiking? Conquering Mount Whitney in a day hike was unforgettable — the breathtaking views and the beautiful memories made are treasures I carry with me.

Lately, tennis and soccer/football have joined my repertoire of activities — it's all about mixing it up, keeping it fresh. Whether I'm in the gym or out on the courts, staying active is my mantra. Celebrating the small victories in sports and steady progress in the lab fuels my enthusiasm for what's next!
