Biography
Before Joining Nanjing University in 2022 August, I was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Department of Computer Science of UMass, Amherst, working with Professor Don Towsley and Mohammad Hajiesmaili. I got my PhD degree from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2018, (fortunately) supervised by Professor Wing Shing Wong. Prior to that, I received my BEng and Msc degree in 2012 and 2015, respectively, both from the University of Science and Technology of China.
