Short BioI received my Ph.D. degree and B.E. degree from the School of Electronic Information and Communications (EIC) at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2018 and 2013, respectively. I joined the School of EIC at HUST as an Associate Professor in Jan. 2020. Before that, I was with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, as a Postdoctoral Fellow from Sept. 2018 to Dec. 2019, and a Visiting Ph.D. Student from Sept. 2015 to Sept. 2017. My current research focuses on artificial intelligence and its application in next-generation networking, mobile edge computing, video streaming and analytics.
I am looking for highly motivated students (undergraduate, master, and PhD student) to join my group. Feel free to send me an email or visit my lab at WNLO.
