Biography

I have always enjoyed exploring the unknown and creating something new since childhood. So after learning electronics and computer-related knowledge, I fell in love with electronic DIY. The satisfaction of making smart devices myself fascinates me and pushes me to be a full-stack developer.

While working toward battery-free IoT systems with cyber-electro-mechanical fusion, I am exploring the combination of smart sensing and edge intelligence (TinyML), and some related works (patents, papers) have been done. My blogs in CSDN about AI & IoT has over 260,000 visitors. I imagine a future where AI is everywhere that it can be extensively deployed on low-cost and low-power IoT devices.
