About Me #

I am a fifth-year Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. John C.S. Lui. I am a member of the Advanced Networking and System Research Laboratory (ANSRLab). Prior to that, I completed my B.E. in Information Engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University in 2020.

Here is my CV. 😊

Research Interests #

I am interested in the theory of 🎰multi-armed bandits and its applications in areas like computer networks and recommender systems. The goal is to design rigorous and effiencit algorithms with provable performance guarantees. I am also interested in ⚛️quantum networking and quantum computing, where I develop network protocols and explore the potential for quantum speedup in classical algorithms.

I am always open to possible collaborations and discussions. Please feel free to contact me. 🤗
