我9月即将入职天津大学网安学院任副教授，主攻物联网安全，智能感知，信息物理系统及其安全等方向。如果对我的研究方向感兴趣并希望攻读硕士学位或有意进行科研方面的交流合作欢迎联系我。

I work at the School of Cyber Security, Tianjin University as Associate Professor now in Tianjin, China. I received the B.E. degree from Hefei University of Technology, China, in 2017, and my D.E. degree from the same university in 2023, supervised by Prof.Meng Wang and Prof.Yu Gu. During my doctoral period, I receive a CSC scholarship, and I am guided by Prof.Yusheng Ji from National Institute of Informatics, Japan.

My research interest includes IOT security, wireless sensing, and affective computing. I have published 30+ papers at the top international conferences and journals. I’m the recipient of the IEEE SMC Society Andrew P. Sage Best Transactions Paper Award, the IEEE HITC Distinguished Phd Dissertation Award, and the IEEE ICME 2025 Best Paper Award Nomination.
