Hi, I’m Runqiu.
I’m Runqiu Wang, a first-year Ph.D. student in Computer Sciences at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I received a B.S.E. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan and a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Previously, I worked in the AMI Lab led by Prof. Ke Sun on sensing systems and applied machine learning.
I have been working on applied machine learning and computer vision for ubiquitous and ambient sensing that tightly couple the physical and digital worlds.
