Previous Website

If you’ve been following my work from the beginning, you might be wondering:“Where’s the old website?”
Well, good news — it’s still alive and kicking! 💪 I couldn’t bring myself to shut it down, so it’s still running 24/7.

Acknowledgments

I want to express my sincere gratitude to Igor Barakaiev, Louis Weisdorf, and Yu-Hsuan Chen. The website would not look the way it does today without their support and contributions. It was a pleasure working with them!

Most importantly, heartfelt thanks to everyone at Stanford GPS Lab for the inspiring environment and constant encouragement!
