Email: jiale (at) umich.edu

Hi all, I am a second-year Ph.D. candidate major in Embedded Systems in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. I work closely with Prof. Pei Zhang and collabrotes solidly with Structures as Sensors Lab at the Stanford University. My research focuses on characterizing novel multimodal-sensing systems with explainable machine learning models to enhance the human-computer interaction experiences.

With my knowledge across end-to-end system construction, embedded systems and machine learning, I am actively engaging in acoustics, RFID and camera sensing currently under multiple scenarios: Autonomous stores, stadiums and hosptial. I hope my works can inspire more novel and practical sensing systems utilizing different modalties.

Before my Ph.D., I spent my master career working with Prof. Alanson Sample in the Interaction Sensing & Computing Lab and developed UltraMic, a privacy-preserving indoor activity recognition and localization system using ultrasound microphone array.
