About me

I am passionate about aerospace and computer science. I like challenges and enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. I was born in China and completed my bachelor's degree there as well. Since then I have studied and worked in six different countries. Thought I have held various positions, I am first and foremost an engineer. Currently, I am completing my PhD research at TuDelft, in the Netherlands.

Some Fun Projects

Open Aircraft Performance Database

As part of Open Aircraft Performance model, the OFE database provides operational and limitation values of aircraft performance parameters. Common aircraft types are included. ADS-B data are use for model construction. Each parameters are constructed based on at least 5000 flight of same aircraft type.
GitHub

pyModeS

The ADS-B decoder has evolved into a fully powered Mode-S decoder with contributions from the community. It decodes ADS-B messages (DF17, DF18) and Enhanced Mode-S (DF20, DF21) messages. Many more aircraft states can now be discovered through Mode-S, in addition to ADS-B.
GitHub and PIP

Aircraft Database

A database to search for aircraft IDs (such as ICAO address, registrations ID, etc) and related information. It is built in Python / Flask and data is from Flight Radar 24.

ADS-B / EHS Decoding Guide

A guide to decode the ADS-B messages. Part of my PhD research involves using ADS-B data to assist aircraft performance modeling. This is the first project that I worked here at TuDelft.

BlueSky

BlueSky is the open source Air Traffic Simulation we are building in my group. I am only a part of the coding team, contributing to the development of the tool.
GitHub

Memeit

Creating an internet MEME is easy, but it is difficult for a computer to understand the accompanying text. We developed a machine learning system that can extract and understand the text within an internet MEME. The accuracy of the text recognition exceeds 95%.
GitHub

Involve

A web-based platform that standardizes the proposal processing for ISU, Space Studies Program.
