About Me 

I received my B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from China University of petroleum (Beijing) in 2016. Now, as a PhD candidate, the topic of my thesis is “Research on key techniques of lower extremity exoskeleton for hemiplegia rehabilitation”. My research interests are in rehabilitation device design, gait & movement analysis and signal processing.
