Biography

I am a lecturer at System Section (GLASS), School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow. I received the PhD degree from the University of Hong Kong, under the supervision of Prof. Kaibin Huang in 2019, and the B.Eng. degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) in 2015. Prior to joining University of Glasgow, I was a postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Engineering, King's College London, working with Prof. Osvaldo Simeone.
