About

I am a Ph.D. student at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) supervised by Professor Xinyu Zhang. I received my B.E. degree with honors from Southeast University (SEU) in 2024. My expertise lies in wireless communications, systems and networking and FPGA implementation, as well as machine learning. Beyond academia, I have a deep appreciation for open-source software and the collaborative spirit it fosters.
