I build soft bioelectronic interfaces for
a more personalized approach to healthcare.

I’m a third-year Ph.D. student in Bioengineering at the University of California, Los Angeles. My research brings together soft materials, wearable and implantable sensors, and intelligent signal analysis to better understand and monitor the human body.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME

Beyond the lab.

Outside research, I enjoy reading, playing the guqin, and exploring new places.
