About Me

I'm a postdoctoral scholar with Prof. Chirag Shah at the University of Washington. I received the B.E. and M.E. degree from Beijing University of Technology, China, and the Ph.D. degree in Computer Science in 2020 from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA. My interest lies in Mobile Security and Privacy, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, Machine Learning, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Mobile Computing and Internet of Things (IoT). Besides research, I love playing sports, including half marathon, tennis, soccer, and fishing.
