About Me

I received the B.S. degree in Electronics and Information Engineering from Dalian University of Technology, Dalian, China, in 2018, and the Ph.D. degree from the School of Information and Communication Engineering, Dalian University of Technology, in 2023, under the supervision of Prof. Ming Li. From September 2023 to March 2026, I was a Postdoctoral Scholar working with Prof. A. Lee Swindlehurst in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. I am currently a Humboldt Postdoctoral Research Fellow working with Prof. Robert Schober at the Institute for Digital Communications, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU), Erlangen, Germany. My research interests include optimization and signal processing for wireless communication systems, with a particular emphasis on massive MIMO, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, and integrated sensing and communications.
