Project Experience

Reinwifi 2023.06 - 2024.05
- Description: Extracting information from the media access control (MAC) layer in real time is either infeasible or hampers transmission efficiency. To address this issue, a reinforcement-learning-based framework for application-layer quality-of-service (QoS) optimization of WiFi networks was proposed.
- Role: Project Leader, Developer
- Tools: Python, Pytorch, C, RUST

InertiEAR-Implementation 2022.12 - 2023.1
- Description: Speakers in cell phones might induce vibration in embedded inertial measurement units (IMU); therefore, utilizing IMU data to infer victims’ sensitive vocal information is possible.(Course Project)
- Role: Project Leader, Developer
- Tools: Python, Pytorch
-
