I am pursuing my PhD. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering and graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology (China) with a B.S. in 2016. My research interests are biomedical signal processing and clinical data analysis. We implemented several advanced analyzing algorithms on ECG, iEGMs and hemodynamics then to uncover the complexity of physiology. Besides, I also work on Labview programming and participate in optical mapping experiments.

My research interests are signal processing-based discrimination and prediction for arrhythmia. We aim to analyze the ECG signals to reveal distinguishing characteristics of the AF signals in the early stage for proper AF treatments. I am currently working on discrimination of the AF progression over time, using quantitative measures in terms of non-linear dynamic complexities and AF burden factors.

I am pursuing my PhS in Biomedical Engineering. My research interest’s focus towards cardiovascular functions, specifically looking at the electrical activity and cell depolarization/repolarization of myocytes. I am currently working on investigating cardiac rhythms with high resolution optical mapping techniques, exploring various non-linear techniques to extract hidden physiological information from the signals, in addition to data analysis.
