Openings

I am always looking for the self-motivated students with the background of electrical engineering, electronic engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering and materials science, and especially the ones who enjoy the experience to build up a working system. If you are interested in working with us as a PostDoc or PhD / Master / Visiting student, please contact me. For those applying for the TBSI graduate programs (master and PhD), please remeber to choose the Big data and artificial intelligence direction.

Please email me with a copy of your CV if you are interested.
