  mentoring_philosophy: |
    My mentoring philosophy is to cultivate students' passion, critical thinking, and self-learning capabilities in interdisciplinary research, and foster an inclusive, collaborative, and interactive environment where students can work and learn from each other, and enjoy the process of discovery and innovation. Throughout my career, I have mentored over 10 graduate students and 20 undergraduate students in interdisciplinary research. Most of them were capable of developing their passion, critical thinking, and research skills, eventually publishing papers in top conferences. Many of these students have gone on to pursue PhDs at prestigious universities, such as the University of Toronto, the University of Michigan, and Carnegie Mellon University, becoming independent researchers.

  overall_research_project_description: 'This project aims to revolutionize the way we teach physical computing by integrating natural elements, particularly plants, into the learning process. This innovative approach not only fosters a deeper understanding of prototyping eco-friendly computing systems but also instills a sense of environmental stewardship in students.  We will design and develop plant-based interactive systems where plants act as circuits, sensors, actuators, and even data processors. These systems will be incorporated into educational modules, offering hands-on learning experiences that emphasize sustainability. '

  research_tasks_for_student_research_assistant_s_: |
    1. Literature Review and Preliminary Studies
    - Conduct a comprehensive literature review on existing work related to plant-based computing and eco-friendly physical computing.
    - Identify suitable plant species and natural elements that can be integrated with physical computing systems.
    - Perform preliminary experiments to understand the electrical properties and interaction mechanisms of selected plants.
    2. Design and Development of Plant-based Computing Systems
    - Design interactive computing systems that utilize plants as input/output interfaces.
    - Develop prototypes that demonstrate the integration of plants with sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers.
    - Ensure that the designs prioritize sustainability and eco-friendliness in their materials and energy consumption.
