About me
I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia (UBC), where I work with Prof. Vincent Wong. I received my Ph.D. in Electronic and Computer Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2025, under the supervision of Prof. Khaled B. Letaief. From September 2024 to July 2025, I was a Visiting Researcher at the Research Laboratory of Electronics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where I worked with Prof. Lizhong Zheng. Prior to that, I received my B.Eng. degree in Electronic Science and Engineering from Nanjing University in 2021, advised by Prof. Shaowei Wang.
My research interests include signal processing and machine learning for wireless communications, with a focus on next-generation MIMO technologies, integrated sensing and communication, and edge AI. I was a recipient of the China National Scholarship in 2018, the Hong Kong Ph.D. Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS) in 2021, and the NSERC Canada Postdoctoral Research Award (CPRA) in 2026.
