π Short Bioξ
I am a doctoral researcher & Ph.D. candidate supervised by Prof. Dr.-Ing. JΓΆrg Ott at Chair of Connected Mobility, TUM. I am also a member of SPEAR Lab, TU Delft led by Prof. Nitinder Mohan, mentored by Prof. Dirk Kutscher at HKUST(GZ). My current research interests lie in Accelerating Networked Systems by Edge Computing, such as visual perception pipelines.
I obtained my M.Phil. degree from HKUST(GZ), where I was luckily advised by Prof. Pan Hui, Prof. Gareth Tyson, and Prof. Dirk Kutscher. Previously, I was a full-time research engineer focusing 5G core network performance optimization at Huawei and lucky to work with Mr. Jing Liu, Dr. Wei Wang, and Dr. Sui Zhou. I obtained my M.Eng and B.Eng from Fudan University and Harbin Engineering University respectively. I interned at Alipay and eBay.
