Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in Department of Computer Science and a faculty member in Link Lab, at University of Virginia. Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at University of California San Diego, working with Professor Xinyu Zhang. I received my Ph.D. from Tsinghua University in 2019, under the supervision of Professor Yunhao Liu and Professor Zheng Yang. I also received my B.E. from Tsinghua University in 2014.
At UVA, I direct WINK (Wireless Intelligence & NetworKing) Lab. Our reasearch revolves around ambient intelligence and ubiquitous connectivity empowered by wireless technologies. We design wireless models, algorithms, and systems, with applications across a wide spectrum of physical-aware scenarios, including next-generation communication, smart IoT sensing, autonomous driving, and mobile computing.
