About me

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UBC, hosted by Prof. Vincent Wong. I received my Ph.D. in Electronic and Computer Engineering at HKUST in 2025, supervised by Prof. Khaled B. Letaief. From Sept. 2024 to Jul. 2025, I was a visiting Ph.D. student at MIT, where I worked with Prof. Lizhong Zheng. Prior to these, I received my B.Eng. degree in Electronic Science and Engineering from Nanjing University in 2021, advised by Prof. Shaowei Wang.

My research explores the intersection of signal processing and machine learning to develop advanced algorithms for next-generation wireless communication and sensing systems. I am interested in application domains such as millimeter-wave and terahertz systems, near-field communications and sensing, and ultra-massive MIMO systems. I received the National Scholarship in 2018 and the Hong Kong Ph.D. Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS) in 2021.
