I am an audio expert focusing on human-centric acoustics. My research aims to unlock the untapped potential of sound through cutting-edge AI, sensing, and computational technologies. Sound, a fundamental element in our world, is a potent force that offers rich insights into our physiology, environment, and interactions. My work tries to uncover these new dimensions in the comprehension and utilization of sound within the mobile sphere. This includes analyzing in-body sounds for healthcare advancements, enhancing interactions through sound-sensitive devices (like earphones) and speech , and protecting environmental acoustics. Ultimately, my research endeavors to transform the role of sound in technology and everyday life, making it more integral and interactive.

I am currently building next-gen wearable AI on earphones.

I am a passionate experimental researcher and a full-stack engineer, currently, a postdoc researcher at the University of Pittsburgh, working with Prof. Longfei Shangguan. Prior to my postdoc, I received my Ph.D. from City University of Hong Kong, under the supervision of Prof. Zhenjiang Li.

I am a quick learner, easily adapt to new things, and get the job done.
