Biography
I joined the Smart Systems Lab as a Ph.D. student and Graduate Research Assistant under the supervision of Dr. Christophe Bobda. I received my B.S. from the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology in power and mechanical engineering , and later transitioned into Electrical and Computer Engineering for my M.S. My research centers on real-time, on-board intelligence for UAV systems, with an emphasis on efficient image processing, hardware acceleration, and scene understanding in complex environments. I am also broadly interested in bringing modern AI—especially lightweight LLM capabilities—onto resource-constrained edge platforms.
