I graduated from The School of Computer Science, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT) with a bachelor’s degree and from the School of Computer Science and Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) with the successive postgraduate and doctoral program, advised by Zhiwei Zhao (赵志为) and Geyong Min (闵革勇). Currently, i am an associate professor at the School of Computer and Artificial Intelligence in Southwest Jiaotong University (SWJTU).
I won the first term CAST Young Elite Scientists Sponsorship - the Doctoral Student Special Program and Outstanding Graduate Student of Sichuan Province in 2025.
My research interest includes edge computing, edge intelligence and artificial intelligence of things. My vision is to leverage network computing approaches to deliver a reliable computing foundation for large language models and other intelligent applications, constructing an intelligent network that integrates communication, sensing, and computing.
