ABOUT
Hi! I am an Incoming Ph.D. Student in CSE at the University of California, San Diego, advised by Prof. Aaron Schulman. I'm also honored to work closely with Prof. Dinesh Bharadia, Prof. Nadia Heninger, and Prof. Dave Levin . Before that, I was a visiting student in the NetSAIL Lab & EECS at the University of California, Irvine, advised by Prof. Sangeetha Abdu Jyothi. I got the B.E. in Computer Engineering from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. At CUHKSZ, I worked in INML Lab, advised by Prof. Fangxin Wang. My research interests lie at the intersection of computer systems, wireless & networking, satellite network, and machine learning.
