To Prospective Students

招收研究生和对科研感兴趣的本科生，通常我每年会招收2名硕士研究生。欢迎对无线通信/网络、边缘智能、计算机网络感兴趣的同学联系我，欢迎有志于提升动手能力的同学联系我。如果能力合适，在学期间，我会帮忙推荐海外高校RA或者大厂实习。

News

  • [2025-07-31] 最新的工作ZCMod/Hetu被TMC/ICNP25录用，ZCMod是水下物联网方向新的波形设计，Hetu是网络验证方向目前为止最快的数据面并行验证方法。

  • [2023-12-28] 2023年下半年有一些工作陆续被录用 (无线方向TMCx1/ToNx1/MSNx1/ISPAx1/WCNCx1, 网络方向APNOMSx1/APNETx1/INFOCOMx1)。

  • [2021-01-11] I joined XMU.

  • [2020-10-07] My new homepage is online.

About Me

I am an Assistant Professor with School of Informatics, Xiamen University, China, starting from Jan. 2021. Before that, I was a research engineer at Huawei 2012 Labs (from Nov. 2016 to Dec. 2020). I received my PhD degree in Information Engineering at The Chinsese University of Hong Kong in 2016, supervised by Prof. Soung Chang Liew. Previously, I received my BSc and ME degrees in Computer Science both from Nanjing University, supervised by Prof. Guihai Chen.

My research interests span wireless, networking, security, and embedded AI. I am particularly motivated by challenging problems in real-world systems, with a focus on developing practical solutions.

I am a member of Future Networking Lab@XMU led by Prof. Liqun Fu. I also work closely with Prof. Qiao Xiang.
