About

Hello! Welcome to my personal website!

I am a PhD Candidate at the University of Georgia working under Prof. Yiping Zhao.

My research focuses on Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS), plasmonic nanomaterials, and machine learning for chemical and biological sensing.

Through my work, I aim to develop rapid, label-free diagnostic tools for virus detection and bacterial identification using spectroscopy and artificial intelligence.

I also work on understanding spectral variability, building analytical models, and applying machine learning to extract meaningful information from complex Raman data.
