Biography

I am an Associate Researcher at the School of Computer Science and Technology, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), and a member of the USTC-INT Group. I received my Ph.D. in the School of Data Science, University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), supervised by Prof. Liusheng Huang and Prof. Hongli Xu. Before starting my Ph.D. study, I received my Bachelor's degree from North China Electric Power University (NCEPU) in 2017. I am broadly interested in software defined networking, network function virtualization, data center networks, edge computing, federated learning and Internet of Things.
