π Short Bioξ
I am a doctoral reseacher & Ph.D. candidate supervised by Prof. Dr.-Ing. JΓΆrg Ott at Chair of Connected Mobility, TUM, co-advised by Prof. Nitinder Mohan at SPEAR Lab, TU Delft, mentored by Prof. Dirk Kutscher at HKUST(GZ). My current research interests lie in Accelerating Edge Computing and AI Systems. 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 networkperformance 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 in 2020 and 2017 respectively. I have internships in Alipay and eBay.
