Qinsi Wang 


Hello! My name is Qinsi Wang. I am a second-year PhD student in the CEI lab of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Yiran Chen and Prof. Hai "Helen" Li.

Before that, I conducted research at the University of Science and Technology of China and the National University of Singapore, where I was fortunate to be mentored by Prof. Lin Shao. I received my undergraduate degree in Electronic Science and Technology from Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
