I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical Computer Engineering at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada, supervised by Dr. Lin Cai. I first joined CNLab in 2019 as a M.Sc. student and later transferred to the Ph.D. program in 2020. I obtained my B.Eng in Automation Engineering from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), Chengdu, China. My research area focuses on broad communication network problems. I am particularly interested in network optimization, resource allocation, protocol design for URLLC services, vehicular networks, and the application of ML/DL in networks. Currently, I am looking for research job opportunities. Feel free to reach out if you are interested in my research!
