I am currently a third-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, advised by Prof. Ning Zhang. Prior to that, I received dual Bachelor’s degrees in Communication Engineering from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) and University of Glasgow (UoG) (Graduated with First-class honor degree) in 2020. Additionally, I worked as a full-time research engineer in Tencent from 2020 to 2021.
