Ph.D. student @ NC State
I’m currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at North Carolina State University , working with Professor Yuchen Liu . I obtained my BS and MS degree both from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The Ohio State University , supervised by Professor Jia (Kevin) Liu . I am broadly interested in building trustworthy and intelligent wireless netowrk and communications with advanced techniques, including federated learning, digital twins, reinforcement learning, etc.
My research pursuits are rooted in the confluence of networking and systems, machine learning, and mobile computing, each bearing the potential to profoundly impact modern technological landscapes. In the sphere of networking and systems, I delve into exploring wireless technologies, envisioning new network architectures, developing protocols, investigating digital twins, and fortifying security measures. Transitioning into machine learning, my focus broadens to harnessing generative AI, fostering self-awar
