Curious about signals. Careful about evidence.
I study Information Engineering at Shanghai University’s Sino-European School of Technology. My work connects sensing, algorithms, and the practical details of building systems.
LunaCane brought these interests into an assistive-technology setting. It also led me to a research question I want to keep exploring: how can a system decide whether the signals it receives are trustworthy?
