Dongzhou Cheng I am currently in Xuhui, Shanghai, pursuing a PhD joint training program between an institution in Shanghai and Southeast University. I am a third-year graduate student at the School of Electrical and Automation Engineering, Nanjing Normal University, supervised by Prof. Lei Zhang. My research interests is building Effective and Efficient Sensing Systems, with a primary focus on developing privacy-preserving machine learning like Federated Learning and Self-Supervised learning for Smart Health applications.
