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. 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.
