Biography

I received my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Ohio State University in 2023.08. My graduate advisors are Prof. Ness B. Shroff, Distinguished Professor, IEEE Fellow who makes fundamental contributions to the networking area, and Prof. Yin Sun who receives the NSF career award. Before that, I received my B.S. degree at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2017.07. My undergrad advisors are Prof. Xinbing Wang and Prof. Luoyi Fu. Starting from 2023.09, I am honored to join the School of Software Technology, Zhejiang University.

My main research contributions in recent years are about network science. Specifically, I used some mathematical tools such as reinforcement learning, stopping rules to model various wireless network environments. For each environment, I obtained an exact but simple solution to optimize essential metrics, such as estimation error and age of information. My current research interest includes: (i) Networking: How to obtain similar solutions under complex networks; (ii) Quantum Networks: When Quantum cirtuits take part in communications, how should we adjust the transmission strategies to improve the network performance; (iii) Large language model for networking: How should these communication networks adapt to the widespread employment of large language model.
