Ph.D., Associate Professor |
I received my Ph.D. degree and B.E. degree from the School of Electronic Information and Communications (EIC) at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2018 and 2013, respectively. I joined the School of EIC at HUST as an Associate Professor in Jan. 2020. Before that, I was with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, as a Postdoctoral Fellow from Sept. 2018 to Dec. 2019, and a Visiting Ph.D. Student from Sept. 2015 to Sept. 2017. My current research focuses on artificial intelligence and its application in next-generation networking, mobile edge computing, video streaming and analytics.
I am looking for highly motivated students (undergraduate, master, and PhD student) to join my group. Feel free to send me an email or visit my lab at WNLO.
