⛪ About me
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the research group led by Prof. Qian Zhang at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. Previously, I obtained my Ph.D. degree in 2025 from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) under the supervision of Prof. Wei Wang in MetaIoT Lab.
My HUST email account has been revoked. Kindly use my Gmail address for future correspondence.
