Research

My research focuses on computational imaging and sensing. I develop advanced imaging systems that can "see around corners" and perceive the world through radio waves. My recent works explore:

• Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) imaging — reconstructing hidden objects from indirect light reflections (TIP'22 TIP'25 ICASSP'25 ICME'25)

• mmWave radar imaging — high-resolution imaging and sensing using millimeter-wave signals (TMC'26 TIFS'25 TIP'24 CVPR'26)

• Biomedical and human-centric sensing — applying computational sensing to healthcare and human perception (Nature Comm.'25 ICLR'25 ICCV'25)
