PhD Candidate
Michigan State University
Biosystems Engineering PhD candidate developing crop and weed detection models and smart spray systems for effective weeding, with interests in vision-guided robotics and deep learning.
I am seeking opportunities in either industry or academia upon graduating at the end of 2026. I am passionate about exploring emerging technologies and interdisciplinary challenges. Before pursuing my PhD, I gained industry experience at a smart hardware company focused on VR glasses and a consumer internet company, which broadened my technical perspective and strengthened my ability to adapt to new fields.
During my PhD studies, I developed a broader research perspective, learned to design and conduct experiments with greater scientific rigor, and acquired the ability to publish research that fulfills the expectations of funded research projects.
Career Objectives: Advance AI-driven techniques to solve real world problems like precision agriculture by building reliable, affordable AI solutions and robotic vision systems that meet real world needs worldwide.
