Bio

I am a Ph.D. student in Industrial Informatics and Signal Processing Research Group at the School of Engineering and Informatics in University of Sussex, advised by Prof. Chatwin and Dr. Phil Birch. Previously, I received my MSc Computing (Distinction) at Cardiff University. I was born in 1997 in Nanjing, China.
