In 2015, I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Communication Engineering from Xidian University through the "Outstanding Engineer Education Program." In 2020, I completed my Ph.D. degree in the Department of Electronic Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supported by the "Hong Kong Ph.D. Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS)." From 2020 to 2023, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Electronic Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. In 2022, I visited the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In 2023, I joined the School of Information Science and Engineering at Shandong University as a Professor of "Qilu Young Scholar." In recent years, I have published more than 30 SCI/EI papers in top journals and conferences such as IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing, and IEEE ICASSP. Several of my articles have been included in the list of the top 50 most popular articles in IEEE journals.
My research mainly focuses on the following areas:
1) Signal processing and machine learning in wireless communications;
2) Statistical signal processing and machine learning;
3) Optimization theory and algorithms.
I am an IEEE member and serve as a reviewer for several international journals, including IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, IEEE Transactions on Communications, and IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing.
