Personal Introduction
I am currently a third-year PhD candidate at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications (BUPT), expected to graduate in the end of June. I earned my B.Eng. degree from Central South University of Forestry and Technology and pursued both my M.Eng. and PhD at BUPT’s State Key Laboratory of Networking and Switching Technology, under the supervision of Penghai Peng and Lixiang Li. During my PhD, as a co-founder of Beijing City Intelligence, I have led the development of algorithms that have been successfully deployed real-world traffic signal control systems and reported by HuNan TV. I am passionate about integrating academia and industry, aiming to translate my research into practical applications.
I will be pursuing postdocresearch in AI for Healthcare at the ELLIS Institute with Dr. Shaoxiong Ji, and concurrently focusing on Trustworthy AI at the University of Technology Sydney in collaboration with Saber Yu, Xu Wang, and Wei Ni. If you are interested in my research, potential collaborations, or postdoctoral opportunities, please feel free to contact me via email. I warmly welcome inquiries!
