Brief Introduction:

In recent years, as the first author or corresponding author, I have published 40 papers in journals and academic conferences such as IEEE TNSRE, IEEE Sensors Journal, and JNE, and obtained 23 national authorized invention patents. As the project leader, I have presided over National Key Research and Development Program of China, National Natural Science Foundation of China, general grants of the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation, general projects with diversified investment in Tianjin, projects of key laboratories of the Ministry of Emergency Management, etc., and participated in a number of national and provincial-level scientific research projects. I have also won the second prize of national teaching achievements, the second prize of science and technology of the Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine, the special prize of science and technology of measurement, control and instrumentation in Guangdong Province, etc.
