I am a PhD candidate at the Human-machine interface (HMI) Lab lead by Prof. Milin Zhang in the Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University. I received my bachelor degree from the Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University in 2020.

Research Interests

My research focus on low power EEG processing in brain-machine interface (BMI) or brain-computer interface (BCI). Recently I am paying attention to prefrontal EEG based consiousness evaluation, which mainly consists of three tasks: anesthesia depth monitoring, sleep staging and sustained attention evaluation.
