About Me (CV)

I operate at the intersection of AI and healthcare. My research focus on advanced wearable technology for the quantitative diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease, including designing suitable AI algorithms for explicitly dealing with limited and unbalanced physiological time-series data and discovering latent features in real-world environments. We have published a paper in the IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, where we proposed a feature assessment framework to rate the PD severity levels from short-term motor tasks in the real world.

Since December 2021, I have been pursuing my Ph.D. in the Pervasive Computing Research Group at the School of Computer Science, University of Sheffield, advised by Dr. Po Yang. Before that, I completed my master’s degree in software engineering at Yunnan University and my bachelor’s degree in software engineering at Jishou University.

I have been working in the computer industry since 2014, gaining ten years of experience. I am proficient in C, Java, and Python programming, as well as database management. I have project development experience in both website and desktop applications and have won a prize in the national software design competition "China Software Cup."

Selected Projects

Big Data Analysis System Based on WIFI probe
Keywords:
window/Linux, Eclipse, WiFi Probe, Java, Hadoop distributed file storage, Hive data warehouse, Kafka distributed publishing Subscribe messages, Redis cache.
Contributions:
Developed a desktop platform based on the probe device to collect the geographical location of the person, distance from the probe, time. The collected data is sent to the server regularly and is used to analyze some indicators of the human flow by offline and real-time calculation. At last, the analyzed indicators are displayed as web pages, providing a decision-making basis for the business environment.
