Welcome!

I am a fourth year PhD candidate in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of Florida under the advisory of Dr.Jih-Kwon Peir and Dr.John Harris. I was involved in a NIH-funded interdisciplinary project - Florida Wireless Implantable Recording Electrodes (FWIRE). My research interests lie in the realm of computer architecture, low-power VLSI and neural engineering. I am particularly interested in exploiting computing and signal processing techniques to tackle complex problems in on-chip real-time brain signal classification and interpretation.

My PhD research is focused on the design and implementation of ultra low-power biomedical signal processor for implantable devices. I proposed a real-time online spike sorting architecture, which allows localized on-chip signal processing to greatly reduce wireless data bandwidth and power dissipation. I further used the real-time spike sorter to enable adaptive spike detection. The proposed neural signal processor architecture combines above mentioned blocks to achieve fully autonomous and self-contained operations.
