About Me
I am currently an Associate Professor at Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing, China. I received my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Nanjing University, Nanjing, China, in 2023. My research interests lie in edge intelligence, deep reinforcement learning, machine learning training and inference, federated learning, and serverless computing. I have published more than 20 papers in top journals and conferences, including IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, IEEE Transactions on Computers, IEEE Transactions on Services Computing, IEEE Transactions on Communications, and IEEE CVPR. I received the Best Paper Award at IEEE ICITES 2024.
