The non-contact radar sensing technology can obtain the human vital signs by measuring the displacement generated by the heartbeat and respiration on the chest wall. High-sensitivity millimeter-wave radar system can capture fine cardiac volume change trajectory, and obtain the "Doppler Cardiogram (DCG)" that has validated to have correspondence with electrocardiogram (ECG).

My research focus on the radar-based cardioplumnary activity detection in clinical environment, investigate and analyze the feasibility of cardiac time intervals measurement, diagnosis of cardiac diseases and sleeping stages classification. While the custom-designed radar system and the novel signal processing technique should be developed to realize the accurate detection of Dopplercardiograms in the presence of respiration. Moreover, the accurate deep-learning-based diseases detection and sleep staging models will be exploited to achieve the research goal.

Misc.

During my free time, I enjoy running and playing tennis with my partner. I am a finisher of 2023 Shanghai Half Marathon. I also like playing guitar which is very relaxing and helps me unwind and clear my mind.
