Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at MEI Lab, supervised by Professor Kening Zhu. I received my Ph.D. from Nanjing University, where I was supervised by Professor Guihai Chen and Professor Haipeng Dai. During my doctoral studies, I also collaborated extensively with Professor Wei Wang. Earlier in my career, from 2011 to 2014, I was a member of XiaoMing-Lab.

My Hobby

• Self balancing robot. I’m trying to combine such robot with smartphones to build a mobile platform for smart sensing. See my self balancing robot at youtube.

• Acoustic sensing in robot arm control.

• MicroPython based on hardware platform such as Pyboard, Microbit, ESP8266 and ESP32. A NeoPixel led ring drived by ESP8266 is shown below.

• CNC machine. I have a personal CNC machine, which effectively meets the needs of my DIY projects.

• 3D printer. The 3D printer could help me make mechanical parts for the self-balancing robots and toys for my children.
