About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Information and Communication Engineering at the Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University (since 2023). My research interests include GNSS positioning algorithms, signal processing, and multi-sensor fusion. I have also gained hands-on experience through internships in embodied intelligence, embedded systems, and data science.
