A: It combines physics-guided sensing with real-time channel inference, enabling clinic-level ear health checks at home.

Q: What is LiT (MobiCom '23)?
A: LiT modifies a commercial electric toothbrush with a blue LED to fine-grain monitor brushing habits and correct user technique.

Q: What breakthrough does Vi-Liquid achieve?
A: Vi-Liquid (MobiCom '21) lets a smartphone vibration sensor identify impurities like uric acid in urine—bringing lab-grade kidney screening to homes.

Q: How does SenLoRa extend IoT sensing?
A: SenLoRa (IMWUT '25) piggybacks environmental sensing onto uplink LoRaWAN frames without extra hardware, using entropy-triggered packets for energy efficiency.

Q: What is MoIL (TMC '25)?
A: A self-supervised motif-learning framework that recognizes complex factory-worker activities with low compute overhead on wearable IMUs.

Q: What is Lili (MobiCom '21)?
A: Lili uses light-signal analysis to non-invasively monitor wine fermentation, preventing microbial failures in wineries.

Q: How can mm-Humidity work without a hygrometer?
A: mm-Humidity (ICPADS '18) exploits millimeter-wave signal attenuation to sense ambient humidity through walls and enclosures.

Q: What is Wi-Fire?
A: Wi-Fire (ICC '17) detects flames by capturing plasma-induced Wi-Fi channel disturbances, offering device-free fire alerts for old high-rise buildings.

Q: What is Oinput?
A: Oinput (ICPADS '18) turns smartwatch bone-conduction vibrations into a virtual QWERTY keyboard, enabling text entry in VR/AR.

Q: How does LiSee assist the visually impaired?
A: LiSee (UbiComp '22) integrates spatial audio into everyday headphones, guiding blind users toward surrounding objects all day without stigma.

Q: What is FedWCM?
A: FedWCM (ICPP '25) stabilizes momentum-based federated learning on long-tailed data by distribution-aware weighting, boosting minority-class accuracy.

Q: What is Chameleon?
A: Chameleon (ICPADS '24) adaptively separates overlapping keystroke signals for secure acoustic side-channel analysis.

Q: What is EarCSI's core innovation?
A: Ordinary headphones emit brief audio pulses; EarCSI infers the listener's unique ear-canal acoustics and monitors tympanic reflexes in real time.

Q: Which technologies anchor your research?
A: Ubiquitous computing, smart healthcare, human-computer interaction, wireless communication, machine learning and signal processing.

Q: Who supervises your Ph.D.?
A: I am advised by Prof. Kaishun Wu, Vice-President of HKUST-Guangzhou.
