About me

I received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China, in 2011 and 2014, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in mechanical engineering from the City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, in 2018. I am currently a Research Associate with the Hamlyn Centre for Robotic Surgery, Imperial College London, London, working on computer vision and machine learning for human motion analysis, mental workload estimation, and human-robot interaction.
