Short Bio

I received dual B.Eng. degrees (with honors) from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China, and Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), U.K., in 2020; an M.Sc. degree (with distinction) from Imperial College London, U.K., in 2021; and a Ph.D. degree from QMUL in 2024, advised by Prof. Yuanwei Liu.

I am currently a Research Assistant Professor at The University of Hong Kong. Prior to that, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher with QMUL from 2024 to 2025. My research focuses on near-field communications, integrated sensing and communications, and optimization theory for next-generation wireless systems. I have received the Best Student Paper Award at IEEE VTC2022-Fall, the 2023 IEEE Daniel E. Noble Fellowship Award, and the 2025 Andrea Goldsmith Young Scholar Award. I was also recognized as an Exemplary Reviewer for IEEE Wireless Communications Letters in 2023 and IEEE Communications Letters in 2024. I serve as an Editor for IEEE Transactions on Communications.
