👋🏻 Hi there, I’m Xue Wang.

I’m a PhD Student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at UCLA, advised by Prof.Yang Zhang. My research focuses on human-computer interaction in wearable sensing. Specifically, I’m interested in silent speech recognition, activity recognition, and IoT wearable technologies with a focus on privacy-sensitive sensing. Happy to share my research journey with you!
