Biography

I am a doctoral student at the College of computer science in Jilin University, China and a visiting Ph.D student at Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science of the University of Trento, Italy. Currently, I am a research member in the large scale european project (EU H2020) WENET - the internet of us.

My research is centered on:

• Ubiquitous computing: human activity recognition, mobile sensing and computing
• Machine Learning: meta-learning, federated learning, transfer learning, multimodal learning

I am looking for a suitable position in industry or academia. If there is a suitable position for me, please feel free to contact me!

News

• [April 2022] Our paper about federated learning is accepted to IJCAI 2022.
