I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computing at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, under the supervising of Dr. Lei Yang. Previously, I received my B.E. degree from Nanjing University. My primary research interests focus on mobile computing, wireless communication, intelligent sensing, and AI-driven wireless technologies, including indoor localization and wireless channel prediction.
I am going to join the Theory Lab, Huawei HKRC as a researcher.
