πŸ“„ Short Bioξ…—

I am a doctoral reseacher & 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 lead by Prof. Nitinder Mohan, mentored by Prof. Dirk Kutscher at HKUST(GZ). My current research interests lie in Accelerating Networked ML Systems by Edge Computing.

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 have internships at Alipay and eBay.
