I'm currently a second-year Ph.D. student at College of Computing and Data Science, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. I am very fortunate to be advised by Prof. Jie Xiong! I am also delighted to work closely with Prof. Qing Wang and Prof. Minhao Cui! I received my B.Eng. in Network Engineering from Dalian University of Technology, where I had the pleasure of being advised by Prof. Lei Wang!
